Cooking Instructions

Cook the Green Lentils (1 cup) to the directions on the package. Slightly mash the lentils.

In a large bowl combine mashed lentils, Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup) , Egg (1) , Feta Cheese (1/2 cup) , Goat Cheese (1/4 cup) , Garlic Powder (1 tsp) , Dried Oregano (1 tsp) , Paprika (1/2 tsp) , Sea Salt (1/4 tsp) , and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) . Stir until well combined then place in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line try with parchment paper.

Measure out fairly large spoonfuls of lentil mix and roll into balls.

Place all rolled meatballs on parchment covered tray.

Bake meatballs for 15 minutes.

Flip and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until crisp and firm.

While the meatballs finish up, heat Barbecue Sauce (1/3 cup) in a small saucepan on the stovetop. Once you remove the meatballs from the oven, brush them with warm bbq sauce and serve.

We ate them both by themselves and in a bun, both delicious!

Author's Notes

For the bread crumbs, I just toasted a piece of sprouted bread until it was nice and crispy, let it cool, then broke it into small crumbs.
