Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the fresh spinach leaves and water. Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the spinach puree to the bowl and mix until a dough begins to form. If needed, knead lightly to ensure the dough is evenly combined.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutters to cut the dough into small nibble-sized pieces or fun shapes.
Place the shaped nibbles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the nibbles to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as a standalone snack or with your favorite dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
