I\u2019m obsessed with these Lentil Walnut Meatballs!! Last night for dinner I made Kale Marinara Pasta and topped it with a big fat juicy vegan meatball \u2013 and it was so delicious! These vegan meatballs are super easy to prepare and are a great addition to your meal prep routine.<\/p>\n

They are oil-free<\/a>, plant-based and contain just several ingredients, including cooked lentils, walnuts, ground chia or flax seeds, breadcrumbs, water and salt. Simply puree all ingredients in a food processor, scoop into balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30-45 minutes. Before serving, steam for about 5-7 minutes because the tops get a little dry during baking.<\/p>\n
