🧀 Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps: A Crispy, Cheesy Bite of Heaven

Introduction

These Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps are the ultimate low-carb, keto-friendly snack that combines the creamy richness of spinach dip with the satisfying crunch of baked cheese. Perfect for parties, game day, or anytime cravings strike, these crisps deliver bold flavor in every bite—with no flour or filler!

📝 Ingredients

(Makes ~20 crisps)

For the Cheese Crisps:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Optional Add-Ins:

  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or chives
  • ½ cup crumbled feta or sharp cheddar (for extra tang)

🔥 Tips for Success

  1. Squeeze Out Moisture: After chopping spinach, press it in a clean towel to remove excess water (prevents soggy crisps).
  2. Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion evenly for consistent baking.
  3. Parchment Paper is Key: Prevents sticking without added grease.
  4. Customize Texture: Bake longer for extra crunch, less for a slightly chewy center.
  5. Storage Hack: Keep in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Fold in chopped spinach.
  3. Portion: Drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake: 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
  5. Cool: Let rest 5 minutes on the sheet (they’ll crisp up further).

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • Dip Them: Pair with marinara, ranch, or a garlic-yogurt sauce.
  • Salad Topper: Crumble over soups or salads for a cheesy crunch.
  • Charcuterie Boards: A gluten-free alternative to crackers.
