Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh spinach leaves, finely chopped
-
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or a mix of parmesan and mozzarella)
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp onion powder
-
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional Add-Ins:
-
Crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)

-

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
Mix well to ensure the spinach is evenly coated with the cheese.
Step 3: Scoop and Shape
Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon—this helps them bake evenly and crisp up.
Space them at least 1.5 inches apart as they will spread slightly while baking.
Step 4: Bake the Crisps
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are bubbly.
Watch carefully during the last 2 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Step 5: Cool and Crisp
Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
They’ll continue to crisp as they cool.
Notes
Dry the Spinach – Make sure spinach is dry after washing to avoid sogginess.
Shred Your Own Cheese – Freshly shredded cheese melts and crisps better than pre-shredded.
Let Them Cool – They won’t crisp fully until cooled, so be patient.
Make Them Uniform – Keep mounds the same size so they bake evenly.
Season to Taste – Adjust garlic and onion powder based on your preference.
