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 (e.g., salt, 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 combined.
Step 3: Scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each scoop to allow for spreading.
Step 4: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, replace eggs with a flaxseed egg and use dairy-free feta cheese.
Try adding herbs like dill or oregano to enhance the flavor.
Use gluten-free flour if you have dietary restrictions without affecting taste.
Press the mixture slightly on the tray to make thinner, crispier bites.

Storage

Store leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.
