1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly combined.

3. Add the olive oil and mix until everything is evenly coated. Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the balls on the sheet and bake for 25 minutes. The meatballs should be golden brown.

6. Serve the vegan meatballs with your favorite vegan sauce and a side of steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
