I’d say that you probably weren’t seeking out a spinach recipe, which is fine.

I really wasn’t either.

Until I had a giant bag of spinach that I had no idea what to do with. 

Spinach is a vegetable that I buy because it takes on flavor of the things that you cook or pair it with. I’d say that this recipe tastes like cheese, onion, and a bit of kick from the red peppers! I am gluten free so I always opt for gluten free oats or almond flour for my binder. Of course almond flour is the low carb version but feel free to use what you have on hand!

Spinach Balls or Spinach Burgers

Make these into golf ball size balls or patties. I like these when the weather starts to cool off or I'm bored with salads. A quick way to get 1-2 servings of vegetables!

No time?  
Check out this option from your freezer section with similar macros.  The Bean Burgers are okay for your Mod and High Carb Days.  (Not sure on the taste of these, I like making my own!)

Tips

  • Serve warm with your favorite mustard. I like Brown or Garlic Aioli Mustard best!
  • If you are meal prepping, be sure to let the patties cool before storing in an air tight container in the fridge
  • You can also freeze them if you want to plan to eat again in a few weeks! Just pull from the freezer and let thaw.
  • Don’t like spice? It’s perfectly okay to leave out the red pepper flakes!
