INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
3 large Egg Whites
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils slightly with a fork, leaving some texture for bite.
Mix in the rolled oats, egg whites, nutritional yeast, finely chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried basil to taste.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once baked, gently transfer the lentil meatballs into the saucepan with the marinara sauce and let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired. This dish pairs well as a fulfilling main course for any meal of the day.
