INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
1 Whole Egg
4 Egg Whites
0.25 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
0.25 cup Finely Chopped Onion
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil (for Meatballs)
150g Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil (for Green Beans)
0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, whole egg, egg whites, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash lightly until the mixture holds together.
Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs and lightly drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through until crispy and golden.
While the meatballs bake, toss the green beans with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a separate baking tray.
Roast the green beans in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until tender with slight charring.
Plate the roasted green beans and top with the crispy lentil meatballs. Serve warm.
