INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
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, rolled oats, chopped walnuts, nutritional yeast, chopped onion, minced garlic, and tomato paste.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and drizzle in a teaspoon of olive oil.
Mash the ingredients together with a fork or pulse in a food processor, leaving some texture for a hearty bite.
Form the mixture into meatball shapes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the meatballs halfway through to ensure an even, crispy exterior.
Once browned and firm, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
