🧀 Spinach and Feta Cheese Crisps
“Crispy, cheesy, and packed with savory Mediterranean flavor — these low-carb crisps are a crowd-pleasing snack or side.”
These Spinach and Feta Cheese Crisps are a baked, crunchy, and satisfying treat made with a blend of three cheeses, fresh spinach, and Mediterranean seasonings. They’re gluten-free, low in carbs, and perfect for dipping, topping, or munching straight from the tray.
🍽 Ingredients (Makes ~12 crisps)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
🔪 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta, parmesan, mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute everything.
3. Shape the Crisps:
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly into thin rounds (~2½ inches wide), leaving space between each crisp.
4. Bake:
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy around the edges.
- Let them cool for a few minutes to firm up before gently removing with a spatula.
5. Serve:
- Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with a dip like tzatziki, marinara, or hummus.
📝 Notes
- Cheese blend: Parmesan adds crispiness, mozzarella adds stretch, and feta brings flavor — don’t skip any!
- Spinach: Be sure it’s finely chopped so it incorporates well and crisps up. You can sauté it for 1–2 minutes first to reduce moisture (optional).
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temp for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in the oven or air fryer.
💡 Tips
- Want them extra crispy? Bake slightly longer, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne for a spicy twist.
- Turn them into mini pizza bases — top with a slice of tomato and a bit more cheese before baking!
- Make larger rounds for sandwich “buns” or keto wraps.
