How are these Easy Spinach Balls made vegan?

This recipe uses plant-based butter and flax eggs (ground flax seeds mixed with water) as binders, ensuring they are entirely plant-based.

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

The recipe specifies 2 cups of fresh spinach. If opting for frozen, ensure it is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to prevent excess moisture, which could affect the texture of the balls.

Nutritional yeast is included to impart a cheesy, savory flavor to the spinach balls, enhancing their overall taste profile without any dairy ingredients.

How should I store leftover Easy Spinach Balls?

As per the recipe instructions, you can store these spinach balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

What kind of bread should I use for these spinach balls?

The recipe calls for 2 cups of white bread with the crust cut off and diced, which helps create a tender and cohesive texture when mixed with the other ingredients.
