Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, almond flour, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, forming a cohesive mixture.
- Form Crisps: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon to help them cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crisps turn golden brown and crispy at the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set and reach the ideal crispness before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can leave the crisps in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Almond flour gives these crisps a gluten-free texture, but you can substitute with regular flour if preferred.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like dill or oregano to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in the oven to maintain crispiness.
