Ingredients
Scale
Spinach Mixture
- 2 cups fresh spinach (finely chopped)
Cheese and Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Binding Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
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 until all ingredients are well incorporated into a cohesive mixture.
- Form Crisps: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to create even crisps for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crisps for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture.
- Cool: Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to firm up and enhance crispiness before serving.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is finely chopped to help crisps hold together better.
- If you want extra crispiness, flip the crisps halfway through baking.
- These crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the almond flour before mixing.
- Feel free to add herbs like oregano or dill for additional Mediterranean flair.
