INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked green lentils (198g)
1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
1 large egg (50g)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (10g)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 tsp olive oil (4.5g) for greasing
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, rolled oats, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash the mixture until it holds together while still retaining some texture.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs (about 12-15 meatballs depending on your size preference) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned.
While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Serve the heated lentil meatballs topped with the warm marinara sauce. Enjoy the dish as a fulfilling breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.
