INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese (113g)
1/4 cup diced Onion (40g)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, egg, whole wheat breadcrumbs, nonfat cottage cheese, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Mash the mixture lightly with a fork or potato masher until the ingredients are well combined but retain some texture for a meaty bite.
Scoop out the mixture and shape into meatballs, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and slightly golden on the outside.
Remove from the oven and serve hot. These meatballs can be enjoyed on their own, with a dipping sauce, or added to salads or grain bowls for a complete meal.
