Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Thaw the frozen chopped spinach completely. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, melted butter, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the spinach balls are firm and lightly browned on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Optionally, pair with a dipping sauce like marinara or a yogurt-based sauce.
