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 even cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the finely chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, almond flour, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
- Shape Crisps: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten each portion slightly for even baking and crispiness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crisps for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are crispy to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up for the perfect crunch.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, try substituting almond flour with ground walnuts or pecans.
- Ensure spinach is well drained and finely chopped to avoid excess moisture which can prevent crispiness.
- These crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Add herbs like oregano or dill for extra Mediterranean flair.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and suitable for a low-carb diet.
