Cooking Steps:

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Spinach Balls cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
• Step 2: Prepare the Spinach - Thaw the frozen chopped spinach, then squeeze out any excess water. It’s crucial to remove as much moisture as possible to prevent soggy Spinach Balls.
• Step 3: Combine Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, crumbled stuffing mix, eggs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, melted butter, crushed garlic, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Step 4: Shape the Balls - Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and roll it into balls. Aim for about 1-inch in diameter for even cooking.
• Step 5: Bake - Place the Spinach Balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once baked, remove the Spinach Balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for parties or meal prep.
