Meatballs (with Veggies)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup spinach leaves, lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 TBS Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray. Place the carrots, spinach, oats and Italian seasoning into a food processor. Grind well, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the remaining ingredients and grind to combine into a smooth mixture. Portion into 2-tablespoon-size meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with warm marinara sauce and pasta (or ketchup and other simple sides!) as desired.
