Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Cooking method

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan, beaten eggs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well integrated.
3. Using a spoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each one.
4. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the crisps turn golden brown and are firm to the touch.
5. Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Best ways to enjoy it

These Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps shine on their own, but pairing them with a side of tzatziki or a fresh cucumber salad can elevate the experience even more. You might also consider serving them alongside hummus or marinated olives for a truly Mediterranean-inspired spread. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture!

Storage and reheating tips

If you have leftovers (which might be a rare occurrence), they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness—avoid microwaving, as that will make them soggy. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe container; they can be kept frozen for up to a month.

Pro chef tips

• Make sure to fully dry your spinach after washing it. Excess moisture can lead to soggy crisps.
• If you’re in a hurry, consider using pre-washed and pre-chopped spinach.
• For an added zing, try incorporating a dash of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of lemon zest into the mixture.

Creative twists

Feel free to customize your crisps! Swap out the spinach for other greens like kale or Swiss chard, or add in finely diced bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. You can also experiment with different cheese combinations, such as goat cheese for a tangy twist or replacing Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan version.
