Crispy Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps combine the creamy flavors of classic spinach dip with the crunch of baked cheese crisps. Perfect as a low-carb snack or party appetizer, these savory bites are quick to prepare and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Extra cheese for sprinkling (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese, chopped spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop into a round disk.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use low-moisture cheeses to ensure maximum crispiness.
- For a plant-based version, use vegan cheese and dairy-free alternatives.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- To reheat, bake at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- You can freeze unbaked crisps and bake them straight from frozen.
