INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked red lentils (198g)
1/2 cup rolled oats (ground, 40g)
1 large egg (50g)
1/4 cup grated carrot (30g)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (40g)
1 clove garlic (3g)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast (16g)
2 tbsp fresh parsley (8g)
Salt, black pepper & oregano to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked red lentils, ground rolled oats, and the large egg.
Add the grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and fresh parsley to the bowl.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and oregano to taste.
Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the ingredients until they are well combined but still retain some texture.
Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, aiming for approximately 1 to 1.5-inch diameter meatballs.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and slightly browned on the outside.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving with your favorite sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
