Description

These Crispy Spinach Parmesan Crisps are a delicious, low-carb snack made with simple ingredients. Fresh spinach, garlic, and nutty Parmesan cheese bake together to create thin, golden crisps that are crunchy, savory, and full of flavor. They’re perfect as a quick appetizer, healthy snack, or a crunchy topping for soups and salads.

Ingredients

For the Crisps

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt (optional, Parmesan is already salty)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the mixture
In a medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until evenly combined.
Form the crisps
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Gently flatten each mound into a thin circle, leaving about 2 inches of space between each crisp.
Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Cool and crisp up
Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes. They will firm up and become crisp as they cool.
Serve
Carefully transfer to a plate and enjoy immediately.

Tips

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and crisp texture.
Chop the spinach finely so the crisps hold together better.
If the crisps spread too much, simply reshape them with a spatula while still warm.
