Start by sautéing TVP in a pot with soy sauce and tomato sauce to rehydrate it.

Prepare banana peels by processing them until they reach a fine consistency.

Combine the sautéed TVP with the processed banana peels in a bowl.

Add spices: oregano, garlic powder, garam masala, dried sage, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the mixture.

Incorporate gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and homemade vegan bouillon into the mixture.

Add ground flax seeds mixed with water to bind the ingredients together.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon, then use your hands for better mixing.

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving excess paper for easy removal later.

Transfer half of the mixture into the loaf pan, then layer in cooked carrots, green beans, vegan cheese, and vegan sausage.

Top with the remaining mixture, pressing it down firmly.

Brush the top with a mixture of vegan mayonnaise and soy sauce for a glaze.

Bake in the oven at 375°F for approximately 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
