Ingredients
- Fresh Spinach Leaves: 4 cups, washed and completely dried
- Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
- Sea Salt: ½ teaspoon
- Garlic Powder: ¼ teaspoon
- Lemon Zest (optional): ½ teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: Toss spinach leaves gently with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Arrange spinach in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure leaves don’t overlap.
- Assemble the Dish: Sprinkle with lemon zest or chili flakes if desired.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 8–10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

- Serve and Enjoy: Let cool for a few minutes, then enjoy your light, crunchy chips.
Notes
- Always dry spinach completely before baking to avoid soggy chips.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, or the chips will steam instead of crisping.
- Store in a paper towel-lined container to maintain crunch.
- Add spices or cheese to make your own flavor version.
