Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Wash and trim the spinach, removing any tough stems. Steam or sauté the spinach over medium heat until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much water as possible from the cooked spinach. Chop the dried spinach finely and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Melt the butter in the microwave or saucepan and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped spinach and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and form a sticky mixture.
Step 7
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the spinach balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Allow the spinach balls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. Enjoy!
