INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils (100g)
1 cup chopped White Mushrooms (100g)
1/4 cup ground Rolled Oats (20g)
1 large Egg White (30g)
1/4 cup minced Onion (40g)
1 clove minced Garlic (3g)
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley (8g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped mushrooms, ground rolled oats, egg white, minced onion, garlic, chopped parsley, chickpea flour, and nutritional yeast.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more chickpea flour; if too dry, a splash of water can help bind it.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle or brush with a little olive oil to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and slightly browned on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, gently warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
Serve the crispy meatballs with the warm marinara sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy immediately.
