INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Lentils
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
2 large Eggs
2 Tbsp Grated Carrot
2 Tbsp Chopped Onion
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Stir in the rolled oats, beaten eggs, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried basil.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, and drizzle in the olive oil.
Combine all ingredients until well mixed; allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some moisture.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into meatball-sized portions and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are firm and lightly browned on the outside, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
