Spinach Cheese Crisps

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

You’re going to love these spinach cheese crisps because they hit all the right notes: crispy, cheesy, savory, and slightly herby from the oregano. They feel indulgent, but they’re actually pretty light—especially if you’re watching your carbs. The blend of cheeses gives you a perfect balance of creamy, salty, and melty textures. Plus, the spinach sneaks in a little nutrition (and color!) without overpowering the flavor.

These crisps are super customizable, too. Want to make them spicy? Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes. Want them extra garlicky? Add fresh minced garlic instead of powder. They’re also gluten-free, keto-friendly, and absolutely addictive.

Ingredients

tip: you can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the crisps won’t stick—and for easier cleanup.
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the spinach, feta, parmesan, mozzarella, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until it’s evenly combined and cheesy.
Shape the Crisps: Scoop out small spoonfuls of the mixture and place them on your lined baking sheet. Gently flatten each scoop into a thin circle using the back of a spoon. Leave some space between each one so they can spread and crisp up.
Bake: Pop the tray in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges start to turn a rich golden brown.
Cool & Serve: Let the crisps cool for about 5 minutes—this helps them firm up and get nice and crunchy. Then, they’re ready to be enjoyed!

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne to the mix.
Fresh Herbs: Mix in chopped basil, parsley, or chives for a fresh twist.
Different Cheeses: Swap mozzarella for cheddar or gouda if you want a stronger flavor.
Protein Boost: Add finely chopped cooked bacon or sun-dried tomatoes for extra heartiness.

Heating & Storage

To store: Keep leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose their crunch, you can re-crisp them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

To freeze: These crisps don’t freeze well due to the cheese content, but they’re so quick to make fresh, you won’t need to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, just make sure it’s completely thawed and squeezed dry. Too much moisture will prevent the crisps from getting crispy.

Are these keto-friendly?

Absolutely! They’re low in carbs and high in fat, which makes them perfect for a keto snack or appetizer.

What if I don’t have feta?

You can substitute ricotta salata, goat cheese, or even skip it entirely and just use more mozzarella and parmesan.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes! Set your air fryer to 375°F and cook them for about 5–6 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as air fryers can vary.

Do I have to use parchment paper?

Parchment is highly recommended to prevent sticking. If you don’t have any, try using a silicone baking mat.

Can I double the batch?

Definitely. Just make sure you give each crisp enough space to spread and crisp up.

How thin should I make them?

About 1/4 inch thick or less. The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll get.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese?

Yes, though freshly shredded cheese tends to melt better and taste fresher.

Are these good for kids?

They’re cheesy, crispy, and fun—so yes! Just be mindful of any added spice.

What’s the best way to serve these?

They’re amazing on their own, but also great with dips, soups, or crumbled over salads for added crunch.
