INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked lentils (150g)
1 cup button mushrooms (70g)
1/4 cup rolled oats (21g)
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (7g)
1 large egg
1/4 cup cooked chickpeas (40g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp finely chopped onion
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, mushrooms, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, egg, chickpeas, minced garlic, chopped onion, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
Scoop out portions of the mixture and gently form them into meatball shapes, about the size of a golf ball. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate it for 10 minutes to firm up.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake 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, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the meatballs are done, serve them topped with warmed marinara sauce. Garnish with extra dried oregano if desired, and enjoy your hearty, nutritious meal.
