Instructions
Vegan Meatballs
Add the canned black beans, onion, oats, burger seasoning, Italian seasoning, and salt to a food processor. Process until you can form a ball that sticks together. Don’t over-process. Scrape down the sides and stir.
Roll small balls of the mixture to form meatballs. To make things easier, I like to use a small scoop.
Cook your meatballs using one of the following options:
Fry
You can fry them on a medium heat, in a non-stick pan with or without oil, turning them until they are golden on all sides. I like to use an oil spray for fewer calories.
Air Fryer
Spray a little oil spray on the bottom of your air fryer. Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket and spray them with a little oil spray. Cook at 200C/ 400F for 5-10 minutes, shaking the basket every few minutes. Check on them frequently.
Oven
Add your meatballs to a non-stick baking tray, spray them with oil, and bake them at 200C/ 400F for 15-20 minutes until they are golden.
Tomato Sauce
Mix everything together in a bowl. It is ready to use immediately.
Vegetables In Sauce
Add the oil to a pan. Place on a medium heat. Chop the onion and add that to the pan. Chop the mushroom and add that to the pan.
Stir in the Easy No Cook Marinara Sauce, and the basil. Stir every few minutes until the rest of your meal is ready.
Spaghetti
Cook the pasta following the packet instructions.
Add your spaghetti to a bowl. Top with your tomato and vegetables in sauce. Add your vegan meatballs to the top. Garnish with basil.
