INGREDIENTS
150g Cooked Lentils
100g White Mushrooms
20g Rolled Oats
1 Whole Egg
1 Egg White
5g Grated Parmesan Cheese
20g Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
125g Marinara Sauce
0.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, white mushrooms, rolled oats, whole egg, egg white, grated Parmesan, and whole wheat breadcrumbs. Pulse until the mixture is fairly combined but still has some texture.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you prefer (such as dried oregano or basil). Mix by hand if necessary to ensure even distribution.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning.
While the meatballs bake, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the extra virgin olive oil to enrich the sauce.
Once baked, serve the hot meatballs topped with the warm marinara sauce. Enjoy as a hearty dinner or even as a savory brunch option for a nutritious, protein-packed meal.
