INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (200g)
1 large egg (50g)
2 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs (15g)
1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
1 cup chopped mushrooms (70g)
1/4 cup chopped onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (5g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions, garlic, and mushrooms until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, rolled oats, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and any dried herbs you prefer.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients come together, then form the mixture into meatball-sized portions.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the warm meatballs topped with marinara sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your hearty, nutritious meal!
