INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked green lentils (100g)
¼ cup rolled oats (20g)
⅓ cup chickpea flour (40g)
3 tbsp nutritional yeast (15g)
1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal (7g)
¼ cup minced red onion (40g)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp tomato paste (16g)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked green lentils, rolled oats, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, and ground flaxseed meal.
Add the minced red onion, garlic, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Using a potato masher or fork, mash and mix the ingredients until they are well combined but still slightly chunky for texture.
Form the mixture into evenly sized balls (about 12-15 meatballs depending on your preferred bite size) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the meatballs are firm and lightly golden on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They’re delicious on their own, with a dipping sauce, or atop a fresh salad.
