I've even used these nuggets as a main course. I just serve them with a side of rice or potatoes.

I like to make a double batch of these nuggets and freeze them for later. They're great to have on hand for a quick and easy meal.

These nuggets are a great way to use up leftover spinach. I usually have some leftover after I make a salad or a stir-fry.

I've also made these nuggets in the air fryer. They come out just as crispy as when they're baked, but they're even healthier.

These nuggets are great for dipping. I like to serve them with ranch dressing, but ketchup, honey mustard, or even barbecue sauce would also be good.

I like to add a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the breading mixture. It gives the nuggets a more savory flavor.

I've made these nuggets with different types of cheese, and they're always delicious. My favorite is cheddar, but mozzarella and Parmesan are also good options.

I love that these nuggets are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still just as crispy and delicious.

I've made these nuggets several times now and they're always a hit. They're so versatile, too. I've served them with ketchup, ranch dressing, and even honey mustard. They're also great on their own.

These nuggets were a great way to get my kids to eat their spinach. They loved the crispy coating and the cheesy center. I also liked that they were baked instead of fried, so they were a healthier option.

I'm not usually a big fan of spinach, but these nuggets were surprisingly delicious. The spinach flavor was subtle, and the nuggets were so crispy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend these to anyone, even if they're not a fan of spinach.

These spinach nuggets were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of spinach and cheese. I will definitely be making these again.
