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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the fresh spinach leaves and water. Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth puree.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Place the shaped nibbles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve as a standalone snack or with your favorite dipping sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
