Ingredients

• 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach
• 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp Minced garlic
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen chopped spinach completely and squeeze out all excess water using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Place the dried spinach in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, eggs, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning to the mixing bowl with the spinach. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 5

Lightly brush the spinach balls with olive oil to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the spinach balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the spinach balls to cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. These spinach balls pair wonderfully with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
