Spinach Nuggets



My daughter loves these and I haven't made them in a a while, so it's her surprise for dinner tonight.  These are quick and easy, and they're great for meals or just munching.  I prefer to use flax seed as an egg substitute, but if you don't, you can replace the flax seed and water with 3 whole eggs or 5 egg whites.

2 cups frozen spinach
1/2 cup chopped frozen broccoli
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbsp flax seed mixed with 1/2 cup water
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp paprika


Preheat oven to 375.  Boil spinach and broccoli together, then drain.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Shape into nuggets on non-stick baking sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes, flip nuggets, and bake for 10 minutes.  Allow to cool before serving.
