Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps are a delicious and healthy snack! They combine the savory flavors of spinach, feta, and Mediterranean herbs in a crispy form. Here’s a simple recipe to make these delightful crisps:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour if preferred)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
-
Prepare the spinach: Sauté the chopped spinach in a small pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Allow it to cool and then squeeze out excess moisture using a paper towel.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and olive oil together. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), and the cooked spinach.
-
Form the dough: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
-
Shape the crisps: Use a spoon or your hands to form small, flat rounds of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. If you like, sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
-
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
-
Cool and serve: Let the crisps cool for a few minutes before serving. They make a great snack on their own or can be paired with a dip, like tzatziki, for extra Mediterranean flair!
Enjoy your crispy Mediterranean spinach and feta bites!
