Baked Veggie Balls

½ cup sweet potato (roasted, or a large carrot, peeled and chopped in ⅓)

1 small red onion (peeled and halved)

¼ cup pepitas (I used Mexican pepitas)

1 ½ cups green lentils (cooked)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water)

½ cup large flake oats

¼ cup nutritional yeast

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Add the onion, garlic, sweet potato, pepitas, oats, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to chop well. Don't puree.
Add the lentils and flax mixture. Pulse. Don't puree.
Roll the mixture into 15 golf ball sized balls.
Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for a minute or two before removing from the baking sheet.
