Ingredients
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (I found these panko style, they worked the best)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray or line with parchment paper
- In a large bowl, combine the well-drained spinach, gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, melted butter, beaten eggs, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If the mixture is too sticky, place it in the fridge for 30 minutes before shaping the balls
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the spinach balls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving, with or without your favorite dip
