• 4 Tablespoons Spring Onion finely diced
• 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely chopped. Or 1tsp dried
• 1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme finely chopped. Or 1tsp dried
• 1 Tablespoons Fresh Sage finely chopped. Or 1tsp dried
• 20g (one handful) Fresh Spinach Leaves chopped
• 1 large clove Garlic minced
• 2 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (optional)
• 1 pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients together.
3. Using your hands, give the mixture a good squash until thoroughly combined. (You can wear protective gloves if you prefer).
4. Using a Tablespoon, measure out 1 Tablespoon of mixure and form into a ball in your hands.
5. Place the meatball onto the grease proof paper and repeat until all the mixture is used up. (you will end up with around 24 meatballs).
6. Once all the mixture is used up, place the meatballs into the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, turning the tray around halfway through cooking.
7. Once the meatballs have had at least 20 minutes in the oven, check they are thoroughly cooked by cutting one in half.
8. If they are cooked, you can serve them straight away, alternatively you can then pop them into your favourite sauce and serve them with wholegrain spaghetti and a salad.
