How to Make Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix Your Dip

In a medium bowl, mix together the spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and any optional add-ins. Stir until well combined.

Step 3: Form the Crisps

Scoop small spoonfuls (about 1 to 1.5 tbsp each) of the mixture onto your baking sheet, spacing them at least 1–2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden brown and crispy. Watch them closely after 10 minutes to avoid burning!

Step 5: Cool and Crisp Up

Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing. They’ll firm up as they cool!

What to Serve with Spinach Dip Cheese Crisps

These crisps are delicious on their own, but here’s how to make a full snack spread:

• Serve with salsa or low-carb marinara for dipping.

• Crumble over a salad for added crunch and protein.

• Pair with charcuterie and olives for a Mediterranean snack board.

• Add to soup as a low-carb crouton alternative—YUM!

Tips for Making the Perfect Cheese Crisps

• Moisture is your enemy: Make sure your spinach is very well drained or your crisps won’t, well, crisp.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone mat: Otherwise, the cheese might stick!

• Don’t overcrowd the pan: These spread a bit while baking.

• Get creative with seasonings—Italian herbs, smoked paprika, or onion powder can be fun flavor twists.

Storage Instructions

Once cooled, store crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. To re-crisp them, pop into a 350°F oven for 3–5 minutes or an air fryer for a quick hit.

General Info: Why Cheese Crisps Work

Cheese crisps are a magical creation for low-carb snackers. When cheese is baked, it caramelizes and crisps up into savory, crunchy little bites that mimic chips without the carbs. Adding spinach dip to the base just takes it to another level—adding fiber, nutrients, and loads of flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead?

Absolutely! Store them in a sealed container once fully cooled and reheat in the oven or air fryer as needed.

Can I freeze them?

You can freeze the spinach dip mixture before baking, but fully baked crisps are best fresh. If you freeze them after baking, reheat in a hot oven to bring back the crispiness.

Are these keto-friendly?

Yes! These crisps are low in carbs and high in fat and protein—perfect for keto or low-carb lifestyles.

What’s the best cheese to use?

Mozzarella gives a great melt, while Parmesan provides that salty, crispy finish. A combo of both works like magic!
