A win for #meatlessmonday! These plant-based BBQ Quinoa & Lentil Meatballs are a delicious and easy meatless dinner, inspired by the health benefits of plant-based eating. They pair perfectly with cashew queso.
1- Cook quinoa and lentils according to package instructions. You can even do this the day before.
3- Once the quinoa and lentils are cooked, combine with the oats and nutritional yeast in a food processor. Pulse until it’s well combined.
4- Add the mixture in a bowl along with the spices, bbq sauce, and coconut aminos.
5- Mix together with a spatula until a dough forms.
6- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
7- Once the skillet is hot, form balls with the dough, add a little oil to the skillet, then add the balls. Cook for 6 minutes, rotate, cook for 6-8 more minutes. You’ll want the outsides to be browned.
8- Turn down to a simmer then add 1 cup marinara sauce + 1/4 cup water.
9- Let simmer for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy!
