How to Prepare Zucchini Noodles With Spicy Lentil Balls [Vegan]

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
  2. Peel the garlic and the onion, halving both and putting them into a food processor along with the lentils, walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes (reserve the oil), cumin, paprika, chili flakes, and maple syrup. Pulse until a meat-like texture is achieved.
  3. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the quinoa flakes, starting with 1/2 cup and adding more as needed.
  4. Add a tablespoon of the reserved sun-dried tomato oil to the mixture, continue combining.
  5. Once the mixture has reached meatball-like consistency, scoop out balls using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop.
  6. Arrange each scoop on the prepared pan, bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the outsides have crisped and the balls are soft but do not fall apart.
  7. Allow to cool on the stove top while spiralizing the zucchini.
  8. Measure about a handful or two of noodles into bowls, topping with your favorite tomato sauce and a few warm lentil balls.
