Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Almond Flour (gluten-free base)
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for moisture)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (optional: red pepper flakes for spice)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the crisps do not stick and bake evenly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, almond flour, beaten egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when pressed.
- Shape Crisps: Scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping and flattening them slightly with your fingers or a spoon. Make sure to leave enough space between each to allow for even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Keep an eye on the crisps towards the end of baking to ensure they turn golden brown and develop a dry, crisp surface without burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Carefully lift the crisps using a spatula and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with another gluten-free flour if desired, but almond flour adds a nice nutty flavor and texture.
- Adjust the salt and pepper to your preference, and add red pepper flakes if you like a spicy kick.
- These crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for crispiness.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
