INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cooked Lentils
2 cups Cooked Chickpeas
4 large Eggs
1/2 cup Quick Oats
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
1 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
4 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Basil

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils and chickpeas until slightly chunky. Work in batches if needed.
Stir in the eggs, quick oats, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the ingredients until well combined, forming a thick, cohesive mixture.
Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized 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, or until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the meatballs are done, serve them topped with a generous ladle of warm marinara sauce.
