Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

- Place cooked contents into a food processor along with one chopped scallion and pulse for several seconds. Transfer mixture to a medium-size mixing bowl.
- Add one egg, 2/3 cup of panko bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Mix with a spoon until well combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste and a dash of cayenne pepper.
- In a second smaller bowl or dish, pour some panko bread crumbs. Take a teaspoon full of the spinach and kale mixture into your hand. Make a small ball with your hands (larger than a quarter, smaller than a golf ball).
- Gently roll the ball into panko bread crumbs to coat evenly.
- Lightly spray the baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the spinach and kale bites onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan and cook red bell pepper, garlic, and kale about 5 minutes, covered. Add spinach, salt and black pepper, and cook about 5 minutes more. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Chop the spinach and kale finely. This will help the balls to bind together better and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give the balls the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
- Don't overcook the balls. The balls should be cooked until they are just set, about 10 minutes. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Serve the balls hot or cold. The balls can be served hot as an appetizer or main course, or they can be cooled and served as a snack or packed lunch.
Conclusion:
These delicious herbed spinach and kale balls are a healthy and flavorful snack or meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
