Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flaxseed and water in a small bowl, mix and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add all the ingredients to the food processor along with the flaxseed mixture, and blend until well combined. You can also place the ingredients in a large bowl and blend using an immersion blender, potato masher or fork.
- Form the meatballs with your hands, or by using a medium cookie scoop, which yields about 18-20 meatballs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the meatballs halfway through.
- Transfer the meatballs to a skillet with the heated marinara sauce and lightly stir together to combine. Serve over spaghetti, if desired.
