How to Make Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

Making these Mediterranean spinach and feta crisps is quick and easy! Just follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Spinach Mixture

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Add the Egg

Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it in with the other ingredients until the mixture binds together. The egg helps hold the crisps together while baking, giving them a light and crunchy texture.

Step 4: Form the Crisps

Using your hands or a spoon, form small, bite-sized balls of the mixture, then flatten them slightly to create a crisp-like shape. Place the crisps on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 5: Bake the Crisps

Brush each crisp with a small amount of olive oil to enhance the crispiness, then bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges. You can flip them halfway through baking for an even crispiness.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once your Mediterranean spinach and feta crisps are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with a side of your favorite dip or enjoy them on their own as a delicious, healthy snack.
