INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Brown Lentils (198g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (28g)
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced (50g)
1 garlic clove, minced (3g)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, lightly mash the cooked lentils using a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the egg, rolled oats, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, diced red bell pepper, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and basil to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more oats or breadcrumbs to achieve a workable consistency.
Form the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs firm up and develop a slight golden crust.
While baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them warm with the heated marinara sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
