Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Spinach Mixture
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, thawed and drained spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Form the crisps: Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the cheese and spinach mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese crisps are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving, allowing them to firm up for the perfect crunchy texture.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to prevent excess moisture from affecting the crispiness.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or your favorite herbs.
- Serve these crisps as an appetizer, snack, or alongside soups and salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain crispness.
- To re-crisp, bake briefly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
