Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    In a blender (or food processor) combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, chickpea fava flour, flaxseed meal, nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, smoked paprika, garlic cloves and black pepper and olive oil.
    Pulse until a sticky mixture forms, keeping texture. Totally okay if chickpeas still look whole.

  1. Form the Meatballs

    Transfer chickpea mixture to large bowl; stir in breadcrumbs and dried basil until just combined.
    Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per meatball (makes approx 16 meatballs).
    Roll into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet (you should get approximately 16 meatballs). Spray on some oil spray to get a little crisp.

  1. Bake the Meatballs

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and firm.

  1. Serve & Enjoy!

    Optionally: Enjoy with some marinara sauce and fresh basil!
