How to Prepare Easy Vegan Black Bean Meatballs [Vegan]

Preheat your oven to 375˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then prepare the flax egg and set it aside.
Drain and rinse the black beans, microwave for 1 minute, and mash with a fork or potato masher until they are fairly smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, including the flax egg, and mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should have a firm, but moldable, dough consistency.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a ball, and set on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the black bean meatball mixture has been used.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The black bean meatballs should crisp up on the outside.
Remove from the oven, let sit for just a couple of minutes. Enjoy as you would regular meatballs.
Serving Suggestion: Place the cooked black bean meatballs in a nonstick frying pan or skillet, add your favorite marinara sauce, and cook over medium heat until everything is hot. Remove from heat and enjoy!
