Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Table of Contents

Crispy, cheesy, and herb-infused, these savory crisps are perfect for snacking, party platters, or a light bite alongside soup or salad. Spinach and feta bring classic Mediterranean flavor, while Parmesan adds a nutty crunch.

Ingredients (Yields 12–15 crisps)

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and finely chopped
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray, for greasing

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10–12 minutes

Oven Temp: 375°F (190°C)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and lightly spray with olive oil.

2. Mix the Batter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta cheese, flour, Parmesan, beaten eggs, garlic powder, and oregano.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (go light on salt—feta and Parmesan are naturally salty).
  • Stir until the mixture is thick and sticky.

3. Form the Crisps

  • Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon into 2-inch rounds (they’ll crisp up better this way).
  • Leave about 1 inch of space between each.

4. Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  • Let them cool slightly before removing from the sheet—they’ll firm up as they cool.

5. Serve

  • Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side with yogurt dip, tzatziki, or a simple tomato salsa.

 Q&A: Spinach and Feta Crisps

Q1: Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
A: Yes! Just thaw and squeeze out all excess moisture before mixing it in, or the crisps will turn out soggy.

Q2: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to bring back crispiness (about 350°F for 5 minutes).
