Primary Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach (Finely chopped)
- 1 cup Feta Cheese (Crumbled; use dairy-free feta for vegan option)
- 2 large Eggs (Use flaxseed egg as vegan alternative)
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour (Use gluten-free flour if needed)
- Seasonings to taste (such as salt and pepper)
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and eggs (or flaxseed egg for vegan version). Stir in the flour and seasonings thoroughly to create a uniform batter.
- Portion the mixture: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking tray, making sure to leave enough space between each crisp for proper air circulation and crisping.
- Bake: Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crisps are golden brown and have a crispy texture.
- Cool and serve: Remove crisps from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the tray before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances their crunchiness.
Notes
- For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flaxseed eggs and use dairy-free feta cheese.
- Gluten-free flour can be used to accommodate gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs for added flavor.
- These crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Adding a pinch of garlic powder or chili flakes can introduce an extra flavor kick.
