Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shallots until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
3
Add the garlic, grated carrots, and spinach leaves to the skillet, stirring until heated thoroughly and the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
LOAF FORMATION

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled veggie mixture, Panko bread crumbs, beaten egg, 1/4 cup of ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
