Crispy Spinach & Feta Chips
A delightful, light, and crunchy snack featuring the vibrant flavors of spinach and tangy feta cheese, inspired by the Mediterranean. Perfect for a quick appetizer or a healthy bite.
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 4 oz feta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface. Lightly brush with olive oil or cooking spray. Place a second sheet on top and brush again. Repeat until you have two stacks of 4 phyllo sheets.
- Spread a thin layer of the spinach and feta mixture evenly over each phyllo stack, leaving a small border on the long edges.
- Roll each phyllo stack tightly from one long end to the other to form a log. Gently press to seal the ends.
- Cut each log into 1-inch thick "chips" or pinwheels. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Spinach & Feta Chips!
Notes
Use fresh spinach for best results. Adjust red pepper flakes for desired spice. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki for an extra creamy touch. Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so keep unused sheets covered with a damp cloth.
