Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2.5 tbsp water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until gel-like.
  2. Heat oil (or water) in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add chopped mushrooms, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until tender and moisture evaporated.
  4. Let the mushroom mixture cool, then mix with gluten-free oats, walnuts, parsley, nutritional yeast, Worcestershire sauce, flax egg, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  5. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place on a prepared baking sheet.
  6. Cook meatballs: bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, pan-fry for 8-10 minutes, or air fry at 385°F for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with marinara sauce, over pasta, or in a sub.
