Mediterranean Spinach and Feta Crisps

These Mediterranean spinach and feta crisps are light, crispy, and full of flavor. I enjoy making them as a quick snack, appetizer, or side dish because they combine simple ingredients into a crunchy bite that’s always satisfying.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s easy to prepare, doesn’t require many ingredients, and brings a Mediterranean flair to my table. The combination of spinach, feta, and Parmesan gives these crisps a salty, savory taste, while the eggs and flour hold everything together perfectly. I also like that I can whip them up in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 cup fresh spinach, washed and chopped

• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 large eggs, beaten

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Olive oil spray

Directions

1. I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, I combine the chopped spinach, feta, Parmesan, flour, eggs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

3. I mix everything until well combined into a thick, spoonable mixture.

4. I drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each slightly to form small rounds.

5. I lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp.

6. I bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crisps turn golden and set.

7. I let them cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Servings and timing

This recipe yields about 12–15 crisps. It takes me around 15 minutes to prepare and 10–12 minutes to bake, so I usually have them ready in about 25–27 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or Kalamata olives for an extra Mediterranean touch. I also like to sprinkle a little red pepper flakes into the mix when I want a hint of spice. If I’m in the mood for a lighter version, I swap the all-purpose flour for almond flour.

Storage/Reheating

I keep leftover crisps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to bring back their crunch. I don’t recommend microwaving since it makes them soft.

FAQs

Can I make these crisps ahead of time?

Yes, I can prepare the mixture a few hours ahead, keep it in the fridge, and bake just before serving.

Can I freeze spinach and feta crisps?

Yes, I freeze baked crisps in a single layer, then transfer them to a bag or container. I reheat them in the oven straight from frozen until crisp.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, I can, but I make sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before mixing.

What can I serve these with?

I like pairing them with tzatziki, hummus, or a simple yogurt dip for extra flavor.

Can I cook these in a skillet instead of baking?

Yes, I sometimes pan-fry them in a little olive oil until golden on both sides for a crispier texture.

Conclusion

These Mediterranean spinach and feta crisps are a simple yet flavorful snack that I enjoy making often. They’re quick, versatile, and full of Mediterranean flavors that always hit the spot. Whether I serve them as an appetizer, snack, or side, they’re always a crowd-pleaser.
