Spinach Feta Meatballs

These spinach feta meatballs are packed with flavor and protein!

Protein remains my biggest challenge with my son, but meatballs are often a hit with him! These spinach feta meatballs are quick to make and great for easy proteins. Work perfect as a meal prep recipe to keep stocked in your freezer, too!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has eggs, dairy, and wheat.

If you’d like to try it with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target. This post highlights other ideas for egg substitutes in recipes. A GF breadcrumb should sub in just fine.

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Parchment paper – I buy precut online because I find dealing with a roll of parchment to be the most annoying thing and it’s just so much easier to have it cut for you! Comes in a variety of sizes. Pro tip – crumple up before lining your pan and it will stay in there much better.

Cookie scoop – I love using this to scoop meatballs, pancake batter, and tons more. I use this thing ALL the time when cooking for my son (and just in general)

Meat thermometer – I will never cook meat without using one! We have a expensive one because my husband cooks meat all the time, but this one is affordable and looks great. I like that it has printed on their the safe temperatures for meat so you never need to look it up!
