Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps: The Perfect Low-Carb Snack

by

3: Mix the Cheese Base

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, ½ cup grated Parmesan, and 4 oz of softened cream cheese.
  • Add ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Optional: Mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes for gentle heat.
  • Stir everything together until the mixture is fully blended and uniform.

4: Shape and Space the Crisps

  • Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Flatten each mound gently with the back of a spoon to form round discs approximately 2-3 inches wide.
  • Leave space between each one to allow for spreading as they bake.

5: Bake to Perfection

  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Watch for the edges to turn golden brown and the centers to bubble slightly. That’s the sweet spot for crispiness and melt.

6: Cool Before Serving

  • Let the crisps rest on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes before serving. They will firm up as they cool and be easier to lift.
  • Use a thin spatula to gently remove them from the parchment or mat and transfer to a serving plate.
