Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- non‑stick cooking spray or olive oil for baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non‑stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the fresh spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a small olive. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake the Spinach Cheese Crisps for 15–18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the bottoms release easily from the pan. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the spinach is squeezed very dry so the crisps hold their shape and don’t get soggy.
- You can chill the mixture for 15–20 minutes before rolling if it feels too soft.
- These crisps are low‑carb and can be made gluten‑free if you use gluten‑free cheese and seasonings.
