INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (200g)
0.5 oz walnuts (14g)
1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
2 tbsp hemp seeds (20g)
1 medium zucchini (spiralized, 196g)
1 small onion (40g)
1 garlic clove
1 tsp olive oil
Salt, pepper & spices to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, walnuts, rolled oats, hemp seeds, chopped onion, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture is chunky but well combined.
Season the mixture generously with salt, pepper, and any preferred dried herbs or spices (such as cumin or oregano). Stir to incorporate.
Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly drizzle or brush the meatballs with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the meatballs are lightly browned and firm to the touch.
While the meatballs are baking, spiralize the zucchini to form noodles. If desired, lightly toss the zucchini noodles with a pinch of salt and a few drops of olive oil.
Serve the warm meatballs atop the fresh zucchini noodles. Enjoy as is or with a light marinara sauce if desired.
