Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add a tablespoon of finely chopped walnuts or pine nuts to the mixture.
• Swap out oregano for fresh thyme or basil to change the flavor profile.
• Use kale or Swiss chard instead of spinach for a different leafy green twist.
• Make larger crisps to serve as a base for toppings like hummus or smoked salmon.

Storage

Store any leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes. Avoid refrigerating as it may cause them to lose their crispness.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

You can substitute the cheeses with dairy-free alternatives, but the texture and flavor will change. Nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor if you want to keep it vegan.

How do I prevent the crisps from sticking to the baking sheet?

Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat ensures the crisps don’t stick. Also, make sure to flatten the mounds evenly so they bake consistently.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 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 during baking.
2. Prepare Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped fresh spinach, crumbled feta cheese, finely grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
3. Shape Crisps: Using a spoon, scoop small mounds of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form crisp shapes.
4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the crisps turn golden brown and bubbly, indicating the cheese is melted and crisped.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool for about 5 minutes. This helps them firm up for easy removal and eating. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

• For a nuttier flavor, sprinkle a tiny bit of toasted pine nuts on top before baking.
• Try substituting fresh herbs such as thyme or basil for the dried oregano for a fresh twist.
• Make sure to flatten the cheese mounds well to help them crisp evenly.
• These crisps are best enjoyed the same day; store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly for crispness.
