Hearty Baked Lentil Meatballs
A cozy, nutritious twist on classic meatballs featuring protein-packed lentils blended with oats, egg, and a hint of Parmesan, spiced with garlic and herbs. Baked to perfection, these meatballs offer a satisfying bite for any meal—be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
150g Cooked Lentils
30g Rolled Oats
1 Whole Egg
2 Egg Whites
15g Parmesan Cheese
50g Onion
1 Garlic Clove
5g Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils and rolled oats; pulse a few times to break them down slightly, leaving some texture.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and fresh parsley. Add these to a large mixing bowl along with the lentil-oat mixture.
Crack the whole egg into the bowl and add the egg whites. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small, evenly sized meatballs (about 8 meatballs should work well).
Place the meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
