How to Prepare Meatballs & Marinara [Vegan]
- Prepare the marinara sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup (40 g) of the onion and the minced garlic. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until golden. Stir in the tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the tomato paste and the basil and oregano. Lower the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Meanwhile, prepare your flax eggs: In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with the warm water and set aside to rest for 2 minutes.
- Prepare the meatballs: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lentils, remaining 1/4 cup (40 g) of onion, flax eggs, garlic cloves, Italian seasoning and remaining tablespoon (15 ml) of tomato paste and pulse until well mixed. Add the vegan Parmesan, rosemary, bread crumbs and flour. Pulse until combined and use your hands to roll the mixture into about 18 balls, each about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray generously with olive oil. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until they are lightly browned and crisp on the outside.
- Serve warm with the marinara sauce.
