INGREDIENTS
200g cooked lentils
20g rolled oats
1 large egg
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup grated carrot
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, egg, nutritional yeast, diced onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, mashing slightly with a fork to help the mixture bind together without over-processing.
Scoop the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake the lentil meatballs for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm and lightly browned, turning once halfway through baking.
While the meatballs are baking, gently warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Serve the baked lentil meatballs drizzled with fresh marinara sauce, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
