Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 20 oz frozen chopped spinach (defrosted and drained)
  • 2 cups gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 bunch green onions (chopped)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to reach the full temperature to ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the defrosted and well-drained chopped spinach, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted unsalted butter, chopped green onions, eggs, shredded white cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Form Balls: Using your hands or a scoop, shape the spinach mixture into evenly sized balls. Place each ball on a large baking sheet that has been greased to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the spinach balls are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through on the inside.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the spinach after defrosting to prevent soggy spinach balls.
  • You can substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs with almond flour for a different texture and extra nutrition.
  • Serve these spinach balls warm with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch for added flavor.
  • To make ahead, prepare the balls and freeze them on a baking sheet before baking. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
