Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Egg whites
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
Chop the fresh spinach, red bell pepper, and onion finely.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the cooled vegetable mixture into the egg white mixture until well combined.
Pour the mixture evenly into each of the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the egg white bites are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These bites can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
