INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Cooked Lentils (approx. 300g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (approx. 20g)
1 Flax Egg (flaxseed meal + water)
1/4 small Onion (approx. 40g)
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (approx. 125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, flax egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher until the mixture holds together, but still has some texture.
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned on the outside.
Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
Serve the baked lentil meatballs topped with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce. Enjoy as a hearty meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
