INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (200g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (21g)
1 Large Egg
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1/4 cup Chopped Onion (40g)
1 Clove Minced Garlic
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils and rolled oats. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms, leaving some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the egg, grated Parmesan, chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and dried oregano. Season with salt and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients well until evenly combined. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more oats; if too dry, a splash of water can be added.
Form the mixture into small balls (about 12-16 meatballs, depending on size). Brush lightly with olive oil to help with crisping.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned.
Allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad, marinara sauce, or as a hearty protein topping for your favorite bowl.
