Spinach Balls

Course Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Frozen Spinach thawed and well drained
  • 1 cup carrots shredded
  • 1/2 cup Fresh or Defrosted Frozen Corn Kernels
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup oats grinded
  • 2 tbsp oats ground
  • 1 clove garlic chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree.
  • Heat oil in sauté pan on medium heat for 1 minute.
  • Add garlic and cook about a minute until you start to smell the garlic.
  • Add onion and cook another 3 minutes, until onion starts to turn translucent.
  • Add carrots and corn, cook another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, and then add spinach and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add grinded oats, wheat germ, salt, pepper, and mix well.
  • Add egg white and mix so it coats entire mixture.
  • Using about a tablespoon of mixture, form into balls and line on a non-stick baking sheet. (May need to add additional oats if mixture is not solid enough for balls to stay in their shape.)
  • Bake for 30 minutes, turning half way through cooking on baking sheet.
  • Spinach balls should start to turn slightly golden brown.
  • Serve or cook in tomato sauce for 10 minutes until heated through and serve over spaghetti.
