by Angela V This is another one of our favorite recipes to make at home. Spinach nuggets are really easy for my toddler to eat (finger food) and he loves them, plus spinach has a high nutritional value and is extremely rich in antioxidants.

I wonder if I can use fresh Spinach vs. frozen? I’m going to give it a try tomorrow for dinner.
I am sure you could. I have done it with both 🙂
Yes it came out great! We all loved it, I served them with quinoa and mixed veggies. I had to hand mixed it for a little longer so that the fresh spinach leaves would wilt (sp?) a little and make it easier to form the nuggets… next time I’ll try pre cooking them a bit. Thanks for sharing!
yay! Love hearing your success stories after trying out the recipes! Thanks for sharing Vanessa!
When using fresh spinach, any clue how many oz? Or cups?
Hi, you can use 2 cups of fresh spinach if not using the frozen spinach.
I’ve never thought about making nuggets from spinach before, although they remind me of the mini savory pancakes that i sometime make (with eggplants, kimchi, zucchini, etc) so maybe I’m not so far off on your idea/recipe!
Totally, love the savory pancakes idea with the vegetables!
OH THIS LOOKS TASTY! I’m going to try it! 🙂
🙂
i made this today and it came out DELISH!!
yay! Saw the awesome pic on instagram 🙂 Glad you liked them!
I wonder if I can get them to give these a try??
Worth a try 😉

I have never made something like this, it looks great. Thank you for the recipe.
August 28- These spinach nuggets sound really delicious. They will have protein from the eggs and cheese. I think I will give them a try. Thank you for the recipe. el03ro
This is awesome. I have low potassium and have been struggling with ways to get it up, and this is a perfect idea. Can’t wait to try it.
Let me know what you think 🙂
When I read the recipe title, I was skeptical, but now that I’ve read the recipe and saw the pics, they look wonderful! I’m going to make these and I’m going to send my daughter the recipe, too, she has a difficult time getting her 4 year old to eat veggies. I’m sure he’d love this, though!
Nice 😉 glad to hear!
These are worth trying so I pinned it. Thank You for showing us this. Jerri Davis
Thanks for pinning 🙂
What a fantastic way to serve spinach. I am definitely going to try these. They look so yummy.
I love spinach… this is an awesome idea.. and a good way to sneak veggies into a kid’s diet (they all seem to like chicken nuggets lol)
Those looks so good.
I love nuggets – chicken, tofu, fish, and when I saw this I went wild!!!!! I can’t wait to try it – this weekend!!!
Sounds yummy! And another great way to serve spinach. Goat cheese would be a great ingredient instead of the yellow cheese but that is personal preference, of course.
I’m going to have to try these. My son likes anything that looks like a chicken nugget and it’ll be a great way to get some spinach in him! I hope he likes them. Now I know what’s on the menu for tmrw! Thx 😉
Yumm!! This recipe looks delicious!! 🙂
Okay, this looks delicious. I’m going to try this recipe today. Thanks for posting! 🙂
I am going to have to try this. My kids hate vegetables but they might think these were fun.
I’m gonna make these and see if the kids will eat them!
This sounds yummy! When I get off this gluten free detox diet I am on, I will have to try them, or even better, I will try to find a substitution for the bread crumbs…… hmmmm? Any ideas?
You can try quick oatmeal (not instant) 🙂
a great quick fun recipe with spinach. kids love nugget shapes
These sound great. I am always trying to find new yummy spinach recipes because I love spinach! I love that they are baked instead of fried.

Hello, OSM. What a cool idea. So healthy, easy to make and all with ingredients I have at home already. I would never have thought to make this. Thank you very much for this recipe, One Smiley Monkey.
Wow, I think my kids would love these, so quick and easy to make and great for snacks and small meals. Definitely making these this week! Thañks!
Yum! I think this would be great for the kidlet and the rest of the family! It’s a bit of a struggle to get her to eat veggies now but she LOVES anything breaded and with cheese!
Hmmmm. I think my two year old just may eat this! Tricky sneaking veggies in somedays!

Can you clarify what size package of frozen spinach you use? The cut leaf spinach in my freezer is 16oz right now. Did you use a smaller package?
The nuggets look very tasty and healthy
