INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (150g)
0.25 cup rolled oats (20g)
2 large eggs
0.25 cup diced onion (40g)
0.25 cup grated carrot (30g)
2 cloves minced garlic
0.5 cup crushed tomatoes (125g)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, eggs, diced onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the mixture until well combined but still retaining some texture.
Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the lentil meatballs for 20-25 minutes or until they become firm and lightly golden, turning once halfway through.
While the meatballs are baking, gently warm the crushed tomatoes in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and add salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for a zesty flavor.
Once the meatballs are done, serve them topped with the warm marinara sauce. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
