Ingredients

2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (use dairy-free feta for a vegan option)
2 large eggs (or flaxseed eggs for a vegan alternative)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (substitute gluten-free flour if needed)
Seasonings to taste (such as salt and pepper)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta, and eggs. Mix in the flour and seasonings until well blended.
Step 3: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them evenly to allow for crisping.
Step 4: Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crisps turn golden brown and have a crunchy texture.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool slightly before serving to enjoy their full crispiness.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or chopped fresh herbs like dill or oregano to the mixture.
To keep the crisps gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free blend.
Use vegan cheese and flaxseed eggs to make the crisps completely plant-based.

Storage

Store leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their crunch. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until crisp again. Avoid microwave reheating to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I prepare the mixture ahead of time?

Yes, you can mix the ingredients and refrigerate the mixture for up to 24 hours before baking. Just give it a good stir before scooping onto the tray.

What if I don’t have feta cheese?

Main Ingredients

2 cups Fresh Spinach (Finely chopped)
1 cup Feta Cheese (Crumbled, dairy-free for vegan option)
2 large Eggs (Flaxseed egg for vegan option)
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (Gluten-free flour if needed)
Seasonings to taste (Salt, pepper)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to ensure the crisps don’t stick and bake evenly.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and eggs. Stir in the flour and your chosen seasonings such as salt and pepper, mixing well until fully incorporated into a batter-like consistency.
Portion the Mixture: Using a spoon, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, making sure to leave enough space between each scoop so the crisps can cook evenly and crisp up properly.
Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the crisps are golden brown and have a crispy texture.
Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the tray before serving to let them firm up for the perfect crunch.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed eggs and use dairy-free feta cheese.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
These crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Feel free to add herbs like dill or oregano for added flavor.
Adjust seasoning according to taste; feta cheese is already salty, so use salt sparingly.
