Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray.

Shape the mixture into small balls or bite-sized portions, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.

Let the bites cool slightly before serving with dipping sauces.
