2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils with a fork, leaving a bit of texture.
Add the egg, rolled oats, and nutritional yeast into the mashed lentils. Stir until well combined.
Mix in garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Form the mixture into 10-12 small meatballs, ensuring they are compact.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and lightly sear the meatballs on all sides for about 3-4 minutes total.
Transfer the meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until firm and cooked through.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave. Serve the meatballs topped with the sauce.
