StepCombine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach with Beyond Beef, nutritional yeast, bread crumbs, tomato paste, minced garlic, oregano, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
03
StepShape the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-inch diameter meatballs. (Prep time: ~15 minutes)

StepPreheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
05
StepSear the Meatballs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, brown the meatballs on all sides for 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. (Cook time: ~20-30 minutes)
