Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then coat it with olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a moist cookie dough. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes.
  3. Make 1-inch-sized balls from the mix and place on the oiled baking sheet, leaving space in between balls (should yield approximately 8 balls). Bake for 15 minutes, flipping about halfway through the cooking time. Remove the pan from the oven. Serve immediately with our Tzatziki sauce.
