INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Lentils (198g)
1/4 cup rolled Oats (20g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (16g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/2 medium Carrot (50g), grated
1/4 small Onion (40g), finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, egg, grated carrot, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still retains some texture.
Transfer the lentil mixture to a bowl and season with dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small, uniform meatballs (about 12-15 balls depending on desired size). If the mixture feels too wet, add a touch more oats.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the meatballs and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning, until the meatballs are firm and golden on the outside.
Allow the meatballs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a hearty addition to your breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
