Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Yields: 12–15 crisps
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach, washed and chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Prepare the spinach:
- Lightly sauté the chopped spinach in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Let cool slightly, then squeeze out any remaining liquid.
Make the batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, Parmesan, feta, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Fold in the drained spinach until evenly combined.
Form the crisps:
- Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon to form round discs about 2–3 inches wide.
Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crisp around the edges.
- For extra crispiness, flip them halfway through baking.
Cool & serve:
- Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes & Tips

Crispier Texture: Ensure the spinach is as dry as possible before mixing — moisture makes the crisps soggy.
Cheese Options: You can replace feta with goat cheese or add mozzarella for extra meltiness.
Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of chili flakes or lemon zest for a bright Mediterranean touch.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat briefly in the oven to re-crisp.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Greek yogurt dip, tzatziki, or hummus.
Great as a side dish, snack, or party appetizer.
