INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
0.25 cup rolled oats (20g)
2 large eggs (100g total)
0.5 cup fresh spinach (15g)
0.25 cup chopped onion (40g)
1 garlic clove
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (5g)
0.25 cup tomato sauce (60g)
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, chopped spinach, chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
Crack in the eggs and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Mash and mix all ingredients together until well combined, leaving some texture for a heartier bite.
Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs (about 12-16 meatballs depending on preferred size) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden. If using a thermometer, they should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan or microwave, and serve it alongside or drizzled over the meatballs.
