INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/4 cup chopped onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, whole egg, egg white, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, along with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the mixture into meatball shapes, about 12-16 balls depending on your desired size.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned meatballs onto a baking sheet and continue baking in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they are firm and fully cooked.
While the meatballs finish baking, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.
Serve the hot meatballs drizzled with marinara sauce and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
