Don’t you simply adore it when a recipe is so simple as ‘combine + bake’? No pre-cooking, no pointless additional steps – simply combine collectively all the substances, and pop it within the oven. And that’s simply the case for these vegetarian lentil meatballs (lentil balls? vegeballs? meatlessballs?). They couldn’t be simpler.
Different simple ‘combine and bake’ recipes → simple nut roast; baked fajita rice; Boursin pasta.

I served my lentil balls with spaghetti and tomato sauce – spaghetti and meatballs is such a basic that’s laborious to enhance on. If you happen to choose, you would equally serve these vegetarian meatballs with couscous and tzatziki, stuffed into pitta bread, and even simply eaten straight from the oven (no judgment right here). They’re filled with Mediterranean-inspired flavours, and so they’re tremendous versatile.

What’s in these Lentil Meatballs?
The essential recipe for these lentil meatballs is canned lentils + flour + egg (the identical base I used for my tacky lentil burgers). When you’ve acquired that far, you possibly can jazz issues up nonetheless you want. I added:
- black olives
- sun-dried tomatoes
- parmesan-style cheese
- contemporary basil
- garlic
If you happen to like, you would simply swap issues as much as carry a unique flavour profile to your meatballs – possibly you would make a Tex-Mex model, or use some Indian spices, for instance.

- cooked lentils. I used lentils from a can, as a result of they’re so handy – simply drain them properly, and so they’re prepared to make use of. If you happen to can’t get canned lentils, you possibly can boil dried brown or inexperienced lentils till they’re delicate, then proceed with the recipe as written. I’d not suggest utilizing purple lentils for this recipe, as they won’t give fairly the identical finish consequence.
- eggs
- plain flour (I used wholemeal for additional fibre)
