INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 cup sliced White Button Mushrooms (70g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1 Large Egg (50g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (4.5g)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the cooked lentils, sliced mushrooms, rolled oats, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until the mixture holds together but still retains some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the egg and grated Parmesan cheese, and mix thoroughly until well combined.
Form the mixture into small, uniform meatballs, approximately the size of a golf ball.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Place the browned meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, spoon marinara sauce over them, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
