INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (200g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (20g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
1/4 medium Red Onion (40g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (8g)
1/4 cup Grated Carrot (25g)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked green lentils lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the rolled oats, chickpea flour, and lightly beaten egg to the lentils.
Mix in the finely diced red onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped fresh parsley.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into meatballs, aiming for even, bite-sized portions.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten them for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the meatballs are firm.
Let the meatballs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or paired with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
