INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Cooked Lentils
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1 large Egg
1/4 cup chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils slightly using a fork, leaving some texture.
Mix in the rolled oats, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Combine the ingredients until well incorporated. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs (about 12-16 meatballs depending on desired size) and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Serve the lentil meatballs topped with a generous spoonful of warmed marinara sauce. Garnish with extra dried basil or fresh basil if desired.
