Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Cheese and Flour:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly coating with olive oil spray.
- Blend chopped spinach, crumbled feta, flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano in a mixing bowl. Enhance with salt and pepper seasoning.
- Incorporate beaten eggs into the mixture, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture holds its shape when pressed together.
- Using a spoon, form small patty-like crisps approximately one tablespoon in size, carefully positioning them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently mist the crisp surfaces with olive oil to promote even golden browning during baking.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, rotating the crisps midway through cooking to ensure uniform crispness and a golden exterior.
- Once baked, extract from the oven and allow a brief cooling moment before serving alongside a complementary dipping sauce or enjoying as a standalone appetizer.
Notes
- Swap flour with almond or coconut flour to make these crisps gluten-free and lower in carbs.
- Add extra herbs like dill or mint for a more vibrant Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly dried to prevent soggy crisps and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for quick reheating, making them perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests.
