INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
1/4 cup chopped Onion (40g)
1 clove minced Garlic (3g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, egg, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, chickpea flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Using a potato masher or a fork, gently mash the lentils until partially broken down, ensuring some texture remains for a hearty bite.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more chickpea flour or oats; if too dry, a splash of water can help.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs develop a crispy exterior and are heated through.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve as a satisfying protein-packed option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
