These emerald-green bites pack a surprising amount of flavor into a two-bite morsel, thanks to a smart combo of spinach, herb stuffing mix, and a generous dose of parmesan.

The mixture chills, rolls into balls, and goes straight to the freezer, where it waits patiently until you need appetizers in a hurry.

Twenty minutes in the oven and you’ve got 70 golden, herb-scented bites that disappear fast.

Chef Tips

  • Squeeze spinach completely dry or the mixture will be too wet to roll
  • Use your hands to mix everything, it’s easier than a spoon
  • Freeze on a cookie sheet before bagging to prevent sticking
  • Bake straight from frozen, no thawing needed
