INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup Cooked Lentils (130g)
1 cup Chopped Mushrooms (70g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1 large Egg
100g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, finely chopped mushrooms, rolled oats, crumbled firm tofu, and a lightly beaten egg. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you enjoy (such as garlic powder or Italian seasoning).
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well incorporated. The mixture should hold together; if it feels too loose, add a bit more oats.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or brush the meatballs with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking 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, plate them and spoon the warm marinara sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
