Variations

• Add Protein: Top with finely chopped cooked chicken or turkey for a heartier version.
• Dairy-Free Option: Use plant-based feta and skip the parmesan.
• Add Herbs: Mix in chopped dill, parsley, or basil for an herbal twist.
• Spicy Kick: Increase the red pepper flakes or add a dab of harissa to the spinach mixture.
• Different Cheeses: Try goat cheese or ricotta in place of feta for a creamier texture.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover crisps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it will make the wontons soggy. These are best enjoyed fresh.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the spinach mixture a day ahead and assemble and bake the crisps just before serving.

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Yes, thaw and drain the frozen spinach thoroughly before sautéing it with garlic.

Can these be served cold?

They are best warm or at room temperature but can be eaten cold if desired, although they may lose some crispness.

What dipping sauce goes well with these?

Tzatziki, hummus, or a simple yogurt-garlic dip pairs nicely with these crisps.

How do I prevent the wonton wrappers from burning?

Watch them closely in the oven, as they bake quickly. Start checking at the 7-minute mark.

Can I air-fry these instead of baking?

Yes, air-fry at 370°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes, checking halfway through for crispness.

Are these gluten-free?

Traditional wonton wrappers contain wheat, but gluten-free wrappers are available in specialty stores.

What’s the best way to cut the spinach finely?

Stack the leaves, roll them into a tight cylinder (chiffonade), then slice thinly with a sharp knife.

Can I use phyllo dough instead of wonton wrappers?

Yes, but phyllo requires layering and brushing with butter or oil and will have a flakier texture.

Can I freeze these?

They’re not ideal for freezing after baking, but you can freeze the unbaked assembled crisps and bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
