INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (200g)
1 cup Chopped Button Mushrooms (70g)
1 large Egg
1 large Egg White
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped mushrooms, egg, egg white, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated; the mixture should hold together but remain slightly chunky.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the meatballs are done, serve them hot with the marinara sauce spooned over the top or on the side for dipping.
