INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Lentils
2 large Eggs
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
2 tbsp shredded Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 medium Zucchini (spiralized)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, eggs, and shredded Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the mixture until it holds together, but still retains some texture for a hearty bite.
Form the mixture into meatballs (about 12 small meatballs) and place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden.
Meanwhile, use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles from the zucchini. Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes just until slightly tender.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Plate the zucchini noodles, top with the baked lentil meatballs, and generously spoon marinara sauce over the top. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, healthy meal!
