Why You’ll Love These Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delectable crisps:

2 cups fresh spinach (you can never have too much greens, am I right?)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (the salty magic that takes these crisps over the top)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for that Mediterranean flair)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (you don’t have to be a vampire for this one!)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (a must for your pantry if you love Mediterranean flavors)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup whole wheat flour (for a healthier twist, but regular flour works too)

Steps to Perfect Crisps

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps for a snack that you’ll want to make again and again:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is a crucial step unless you like serving up crispy dough instead of crisps!
Prepare the spinach. In a skillet, lightly sauté the fresh spinach with a splash of olive oil until just wilted. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Watch it closely—you want vibrant green, not mushy gray!
In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir; this is where the magic happens!
Add in the flour, one cup at a time. Mix until you achieve a dough that’s not too sticky and manageable.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for spreading (they tend to puff a little).
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of your fork or your fingers. They shouldn’t be too thick—this isn’t a pizza dough!
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly, and you might find yourself dancing to some Mediterranean tunes—totally normal!
Let them cool for a few minutes before devouring! Patience, my friend, it’s worth it!

Cooking Tips

Don’t forget to adjust your seasonings. Taste as you go and make it your own! Who says you can’t double the feta?
For extra crunch, toss in a handful of crushed nuts or seeds for texture.

A Personal Touch

I remember the first time I made these Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps. My sister Patricia was home for the weekend, and it was just one of those lazy afternoons where we felt like cooking but didn’t want to spend ages in the kitchen. We whipped these up, and before we knew it, they were gone before the second episode of our favorite show finished! They quickly became our go-to snack during Netflix marathons.

FAQs

Can I substitute feta cheese?
Absolutely! If you need a dairy-free option, try using a creamy cashew cheese or any number of plant-based alternatives.

How can I store leftovers?
If you happen to have any left (which we know is a challenge!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated for that fresh-crisp taste!

Can I add more vegetables?
Go wild! Shredded carrots or chopped bell peppers would add delightful color and crunch. The only limit is your imagination (and maybe your fridge)!
