INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 Large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast (5g)
1/3 cup Roasted Chickpeas (50g)
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1/2 cup sliced Zucchini (90g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils slightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, roasted chickpeas, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 4 to 5 evenly sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, toss the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on another baking tray.
Place both the meatballs and vegetables in the preheated oven. Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly browned, and roast the vegetables for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Serve the warm lentil meatballs alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy this hearty, balanced meal!
