Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach mixture with bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the spinach balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
-
Let the spinach balls cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them warm or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
