Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 for greasing Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Thaw the frozen chopped spinach according to package instructions. Once thawed, squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until combined.
Add the squeezed spinach, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
Lightly spray the spinach balls with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the spinach balls are firm and lightly golden on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish!
