INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1/4 cup Rolled Oats (23g)
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (15g)
1 clove Garlic, minced (3g)
1/4 cup Red Onion, finely chopped (40g)
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce (125g)
1 tsp Dried Basil (1g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked lentils lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Stir in the egg, rolled oats, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, red onion, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even crisping.
While the meatballs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once baked, serve the crispy lentil meatballs topped with the fresh marinara sauce, and enjoy!
