Scale
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.
