Hearty Lentil-Mushroom Meatballs with Marinara
Enjoy these hearty, plant-powered meatballs bursting with earthiness from lentils and mushrooms, perfectly bound with oats, chickpeas, and a touch of egg. They’re bathed in a rich marinara sauce for a comforting meal that’s as satisfying as it is nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups cooked lentils (800g)
2 cans chickpeas (480g total)
2 cups button mushrooms (200g)
1/2 cup rolled oats (40g)
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1.5 cups marinara sauce (375g)
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, chickpeas, mushrooms, onion, garlic, oats, whole egg, and egg whites. Pulse until the mixture is roughly combined but still retains some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in finely chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into meatball shapes, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs 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-low heat.
Once baked, serve the meatballs topped with warm marinara sauce. Enjoy as a hearty main dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
