Bake First Half: Cover the loaf pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the glaze: barbeque sauce, tomato paste (or ketchup), and paprika.
Apply Glaze: After 30 minutes, remove the foil covering from the loaf pan. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the chickpea loaf.
Bake Second Half: Return the uncovered loaf pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the glaze is set and slightly caramelized.
Rest and Serve: Remove the chickpea loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer, before slicing. This resting period helps the loaf hold its shape.
Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish the sliced chickpea loaf with dried parsley before serving. Slice and enjoy your flavorful Barbeque Chickpea Loaf with Paprika Glaze!
