INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1 Large Egg
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp Rolled Oats
1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the egg, nutritional yeast, whole wheat breadcrumbs, and rolled oats to the lentils. Stir until well combined.
Mix in the fresh parsley, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 18-20 minutes, or until firm and slightly golden on the edges.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave. Drizzle the olive oil over the baked meatballs and serve with the warm marinara sauce on the side.
