INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils
2 Large Eggs
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1/4 cup Grated Carrot
1/4 cup Finely Diced Onion
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1 clove Minced Garlic
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, two eggs, rolled oats, grated carrot, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and ground cumin. Season with salt and black pepper.
Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until the ingredients come together, leaving a bit of texture for a hearty bite.
Form the mixture into 10-12 meatballs, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent baking.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they begin to firm up and turn golden around the edges.
Heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the meatballs are done, serve them warm with the heated tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
