INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
2 large eggs (100g total)
1/4 cup rolled oats (20g)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (8g)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (40g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)
1/2 cup fresh marinara sauce (122g)
Fresh basil (3 sprigs)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils slightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add the eggs, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 6 small meatballs and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are firm and lightly crispy on the outside.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the fresh marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat if desired, or use it at room temperature.
Plate the lentil meatballs, drizzle or serve with the fresh marinara on the side, and garnish with fresh basil sprigs.
Enjoy your protein-packed, crispy baked lentil meatballs as a wholesome meal!
