Ingredients

• 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing or drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen chopped spinach by microwaving it or leaving it at room temperature. Once thawed, squeeze out all excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure the spinach is dry.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get approximately 20–24 balls.

Step 5

If desired, lightly drizzle or brush the spinach balls with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 7

Allow the spinach parmesan balls to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, along with your favorite dipping sauce if desired!
