Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Около 5 мин

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown lentil, yellow onion, minced garlic, oat flour, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

   Около 5 мин

   Совет повара: Ensure lentils are well-drained and slightly mashed for better binding.

3. 3

   Mix all meatball ingredients thoroughly with your hands until a cohesive mixture forms. If it's too wet, add a little more oat flour; if too dry, add a tiny bit of water.

   Form the mixture into approximately 16-20 small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

   Около 7 мин

   Совет повара: Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering.

   Около 5 мин

8. 8

   Once baked, add the lentil meatballs directly to the simmering marinara sauce. Stir gently to coat.

   Около 1 мин

9. 9

   Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to absorb some sauce.

   Около 10 мин

   Совет повара: The longer they simmer, the more tender and flavorful they become.
