Spinach Balls. A perfect, and somewhat healthy take on a great appetizer, or great to include to replace a standard meatball in pasta.
Add the frozen spinach to a large pot of water, and cook on high heat for nearly 12 minutes. During this time, prepare the remaining ingredients. Once the spinach is cooked, drain and let cool. The goal here is to remove all of the water from the spinach, and trust me, there is about two cups that will get strained. If you think you are done removing the water, wait a couple of minutes, and try it again.
Next, get a large mixing bowl out, take the spinach and pull it apart so it is not just one big clump. Add in the remaining ingredients, and mix very well to combine everything.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take about 2-3 tablespoons of the spinach mixture and shape them into balls, pretty much like you would do a small to medium-sized meatball. Place as many as you can on the baking sheet, and cook for 16 minutes.
When they are cooked, simply serve on your favorite appetizer tray, and your party is all set. Well, for the most part. These can also be made ahead of time, and placed in the freezer. When you are ready to reheat, simply place them in the oven for nearly 20-25 minutes.
Biting into these spinach balls yields a perfect balance of salt, a bit of pepper flavor, and great texture from the bread crumbs. Enjoy.
