Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond/chickpea flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (dill, parsley, oregano), finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the spinach and herbs: Thoroughly wash and finely chop fresh spinach leaves. Finely chop your chosen fresh herbs to prepare for mixing.
  2. Mix the base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to distribute everything evenly.
  3. Add egg and olive oil: Whisk the egg and olive oil together, then pour into the spinach mixture. Fold gently to create a cohesive dough-like batter that is slightly sticky but moldable.
  4. Shape the crisps: Using a spoon, drop small dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening each to about 2-3 inches wide for even cooking.
  5. Bake until crisp and golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the crisps feel firm and crunchy to touch.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the crisps to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to keep them crispy. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Drain the spinach well to remove excess moisture and prevent soggy crisps.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; space the crisps to allow hot air circulation for even crisping.
  • Use good quality feta cheese, preferably authentic Greek feta, for better flavor.
  • Finely chop herbs with a sharp knife to release more fragrance and blend better.
  • Adjust thickness of crisps to preference: thinner crisps bake faster but are more delicate.
