Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Making the mixture and forming the patties ahead of time allows you to refrigerate the shaped portions for up to 24 hours and bake when you are ready. This makes serving easier and lets the flavors settle naturally.

What if my mixture is too wet or too dry?

If the mixture seems too wet, add small amounts of almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds together. If it is too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon of olive oil or a lightly beaten egg until you reach a cohesive texture. The goal is a scoopable, slightly sticky mix.

Can I use frozen spinach?

You can, but handle it carefully. Thaw fully, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can before measuring two cups. Excess moisture will make the patties fall apart and extend baking time. Fresh spinach is easier here, but well-drained frozen spinach works in a pinch.

How do I know when they are done?

Look for lightly golden surfaces and set edges. The centers may still feel slightly soft when you remove them from the oven; they will firm up in the rest period. Aim for crisp edges and a tender center.

Are these suitable for children or picky eaters?

Often yes. The flavor is straightforward and not overwhelming. The small size and crispy texture are familiar and approachable, which makes them a good choice for family-friendly desserts or savory snacks on a busy afternoon.
