I love funky little appetizers! One that tastes divine and you just can’t get enough of them. Easy, pop in your mouth little bites for a special occasion. Well, these Spinach Balls are great for St. Patrick’s Day. A gorgeous bright green is perfect to celebrate a little luck of the Irish with!! These light, delicious, and slightly crisp appetizers will go best washed down with your favorite lager or a great pint of Guinness.
A simple dill and lemon dip from the grocery store is all you need to add some extra umph to these already great healthy snacks recipes. They are easy to make and bake. They are different than the stuffing spinach ball recipes that you see around as these have panko crumbs. Panko crumbs are nice and light and add a little crispness to these great bites.
Try one, try two, you will want to eat them all. They are a fantastic vegetarian option and a great way to get the little ones to love their spinach.
They are easy to roll up and bake and have ready in the freezer for when company arrives. Always trying to think of a fun green recipe to share on St. Patrick’s Day. These are a great, healthy and flavorful option for you.
