INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (150g)
0.5 cup chopped mushrooms (35g)
0.25 cup rolled oats (20g)
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (10g)
0.5 cup marinara sauce (125g)
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp fresh basil (optional)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped mushrooms, rolled oats, minced garlic, egg, egg white, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and add fresh basil if desired. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are firm and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the meatballs are done, serve them hot with the marinara sauce spooned over the top or on the side for dipping.
