Spinach and Mushroom Balls

These tasty “meatballs” are packed with antioxidants and are perfect as salad toppers.

Ingredients:

16 ounces of sliced baby Bella mushrooms (or your favorite type of mushroom!)

2 eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 tbsp garlic

1 tbsp of olive oil

Instructions:

Place all ingredients (except olive oil) into a food processor. Pulse until a finely chopped consistency is reached.

Transfer contents of food processor into a mixing bowl. The next part is a bit messy! Get your hands in and make sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Roll into 12 balls. Remember-they will feel a bit more moist as compared to a traditional meatball.

Brown balls in a large skillet (medium to high heat) with 1 tbsp of olive oil.

Transfer balls into a pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
