Vegan Lentil Meatball Sub
Satisfy your comfort food cravings with this completely plant-based and incredibly delicious Vegan Lentil Meatball Sub. These 'meatballs' are made from a flavorful mixture of cooked lentils, walnuts, breadcrumbs, and Italian herbs, baked until firm and golden. They're then simmered in a rich, garlicky marinara sauce to absorb even more flavor. Piled high into a toasted sub roll and topped with melty vegan mozzarella and fresh basil, this sandwich is hearty, savory, and surprisingly meaty in texture. It's a halal and vegan-friendly alternative that doesn't compromise on taste or satisfaction, perfect for a game-day snack, a casual dinner, or anyone exploring plant-based eating.
