INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked lentils (~150g)
2 tbsp walnuts (~14g)
1 whole egg
1 egg white
2 tbsp rolled oats
1/8 cup chickpea flour
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (zucchini, bell pepper, red onion)
2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil)
1 clove garlic
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, walnuts, whole egg, egg white, rolled oats, chickpea flour, garlic, and fresh herbs. Pulse until the mixture comes together but still retains some texture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then form into small, uniform meatballs.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are lightly crisp on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Spread the vegetables on another baking sheet and roast in the same oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Once both the meatballs and vegetables are cooked, plate the crispy lentil walnut meatballs alongside the herb-roasted vegetables. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
