Description

Vegan Black Bean Meatball Sub: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sub rolls
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Flax Egg: In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
  3. Mash the Beans: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Add the grated carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, flax egg, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Stir until well combined.
  5. Add Breadcrumbs: Gradually mix in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. If it’s too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.
  6. Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1-1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are firm and slightly crispy on the outside.
  8. While the meatballs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  9. Slice the sub rolls in half and toast them lightly if desired.
  10. Place 3-4 meatballs in each sub roll and generously spoon marinara sauce over the top.
  11. Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley if using, and serve immediately.
