Ingredients

Scale

Spinach Mixture

  • 20 oz frozen chopped spinach (defrosted, 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 (shredded)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the spinach balls evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the defrosted and drained spinach, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, melted unsalted butter, chopped green onions, eggs, shredded white cheddar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Form Balls: Take portions of the mixture and form them into balls using your hands or a spoon. Place each ball on a large baking sheet that has been greased to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake: Bake the spinach balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring a crispy exterior and a soft, cheesy interior.

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to avoid soggy spinach balls.
  • These spinach balls can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
  • Substitute cheeses as desired for different flavor profiles.
