INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Cooked Green Lentils (150g)
0.25 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
2 Large Eggs
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (15g)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, Chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Basil, Chopped
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, rolled oats, eggs, grated Parmesan, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into meatballs (about 4-5 meatballs per serving) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and slightly golden on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
Serve the lentil meatballs with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
