Vegan Meat Balls Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Flax Egg

   In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with water. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

2. 2

   Mash Chickpeas

   In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.

3. 3

   Mix Ingredients

   Add the rolled oats, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, thicken flax egg, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with mashed chickpeas. Mix well until everything is combined.

4. 4

   Form Meatballs

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

5. 5

   Bake

   Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with pasta, in a sub, or on their own!
