Baked Spinach Chips

If you get cravings for the salty crunchies, try this one out.

Preheat the oven to 275F. Spread out a cup of spinach on a baking sheet. Drizzle on about a teaspoon of olive oil and mix it around so all the spinach gets a nice light coating. Hit it with a little dusting of salt and any spices your heart desires (I like paprika on mine; garlic powder would be good too). Throw 'em in the oven 18 minutes, or until they get crispy (a little less time for baby spinach). Take 'em out of the oven and enjoy!

47 calories for a heaping pile of "chips"!

I had an idea to lay the spinach out on a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet just so it wasn't sitting in any excess oil, but I haven't tried this method out yet. Let me know if you do and how it works out.

    This is an awesome idea... You can do this with kale as well. I want to try them with some homemade hummus!

    i saw this post yesterday and went straight into the kitchen and made them. they were good, but a bit flimsy. question to those that have made them with spinach and have made them with kale... how are they different? i've never had kale, so not sure if i'll like it or not!

    The BF & I tried these yesterday with baby spinach, and they were a huge success! I'm excited to experiment with different seasoning ideas. ^_^ Thanks for sharing.

    I want to try those, and the kale ones someone mentioned. Saw some at a co-op but didn't want to pay $9 for 1 snack. Also have tried dried seaweed but even I couldn't enjoy those and I try some weird foods.

    Thanks for the tip!
