We always have leftover over rice hanging around in the fridge and I always end up throwing it away. I got creative and decided to make a rice ball, and I didn’t even know how easy it was to make and how delicious they are! This recipe is also incredibly nutritious, serving as a healthy snack or lunch addition. The spinach is really a hero in this recipe, making this recipe a great healthy bite. This recipe is one of my daughter’s favorite snacks (she will eat 5 or 6 balls in one sitting) and I love it as food to pack while on the go. I hope you and your family love this as much as we do!

minutesIngredients
2-3 cups cooked white rice
1 1/2 cups spinach
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
- In a food processor, or blender if you don’t have a food processor, combine all the ingredients above.
- Pulse on high until you create a paste (it’s okay if there are little chunks of spinach in the paste). You will have to scape the sides of the processor once or twice, making sure all the ingredients are getting pulsed up.
- Roll the rice mixture into 20 little balls and place on the parchment paper.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, just until the rice balls have firmed up slightly.
- Enjoy warm or room temperature! You can keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!:)

You actually make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I find this topic to be really one thing that I think I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very extensive for me. I am having a look forward on your subsequent submit, I will try to get the cling of it!
