INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (15g)
1 Garlic Clove
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add in the rolled oats, egg, chopped spinach, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix the ingredients well until combined to form a consistent mixture. If too wet, add a little more oats.
Using your hands, form the mixture into meatball shapes (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) and place them on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway to ensure even cooking.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
Once the meatballs are cooked, serve them hot with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce on top.
