INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups Cooked Lentils (247g)
0.25 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
2 cups Zucchini Noodles (200g)
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast (8g)
0.5 cup Grated Carrot (61g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 large Egg
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chickpea flour, grated carrot, fresh spinach, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Crack the egg into the mixture and stir thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, roughly the size of a golf ball, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are firm and slightly crispy on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the zucchini noodles. If not pre-spiralized, use a spiralizer to create noodles from fresh zucchini.
Lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, just until warmed but still retaining their crunch.
Serve the warm lentil meatballs over the bed of zucchini noodles, and enjoy your hearty, spiced creation.
