Notes
Note: Since you are using the broiler, I recommend using a cast iron skillet. If you want to make this in a casserole dish, I don't recommend using a glass casserole dish (they can shatter at this heat). Some ceramic casserole dishes can be broiled, so be sure to check what temperature they can withstand before using them in this recipe.
What if you don't have hemp hearts
If you don't have hemp hearts, you can also use soaked cashews. To soak cashews for this recipe, you can boil them in water for 3-5 minutes or microwave 90-120 seconds.
What if you don't have frozen spinach?
If you don't have frozen spinach, you can use frozen kale or fresh spinach that has been cooked down. You will need 12-16 cups of fresh baby spinach to replace 2 bags of frozen. Be sure to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
