INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup Red Lentils (cooked, ~100g)
2 large Eggs
0.25 cup Chickpea Flour (~30g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
0.5 cup Marinara Sauce (~125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked red lentils, eggs, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the ingredients until well incorporated. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more chickpea flour to help bind it.
Form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs (around 10-12 meatballs).
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden on the edges.
While the meatballs are baking, gently heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the herb-spiced lentil meatballs warm, topped with the marinara sauce.
