Buh-Bye kale chips, HELLOOOOOO spinach chips!!! These italian herb baked spinach chips are my new favorite healthy snack. I like them much better than any kale chip I’ve ever tasted, even the baked salt n vinegar kale chips I posted on this blog. Baked spinach chips just have more…oompf to them or something. Or maybe it’s just that I prefer spinach over kale in any form.
Start with fresh, pretty spinach leaves!
I won’t even talk about how I went through this whole bag of spinach in a day. Oh trust me, once you make these you’ll see just how easy that is to do. I’ve been craving salty, crunchy things lately and while I really want to snack on a bag of Lays, these baked spinach chips have been my saving grace.
I like to really season these bad boys up!
They bake up so crisp and delicate and packs an amazing Italian flavor thanks to McCormicks Italian Herb Seasoning grinder. That stuff is delicious!! If you don’t have a bottle go run to Target or Walmart or where ever they sell McCormick seasoning in your area and get one today! I’ve been putting it on EVERYTHING and it’s UH-MAYZ on roasted chicken legs! Never thought I’d be so in love with a store-brought seasoning before. It’s awesome and the ONLY way I’ll eat spinach chips…for now.
This is the seasoning I’m talking about! So Good!
I’m pretty sure other seasonings would taste fab on these things but I’ve been to into my salt and Italian herb to venture out, so let me know if you’ve tried other flavors that were a hit.
Fresh, Italian Herb Seasoned Spinach ready for the oven!
You want to make sure you eat these fresh out of the oven because I hear baked spinach chips only stay crisp for a few hours.This may or may not be true being that they’ve never lasted that long for me to find out.
They don’t bake up pretty looking, but your taste buds won’t mind one bit!
Watch me make these Italian Baked Spinach Chips from start to finish!
Italian Herb Baked Spinach Chips
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh spinach choose the big, healthy-looking leaves
- few drop of extra virgin olive oil

- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325
- Place spinach in a large bowl.

- Sprinkle the spinach with Italian herb seasoning and salt.
- Taste one of the leaves to make sure you are using enough seasoning. (you won't need a lot of seasoning)
- Arrange the spinach in a single layer (don't let them overlap) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oil nonstick foil.

Notes
Be SUPER careful not to use too much olive oil. Only a few drops.
Spinach will shrink A LOT in the oven so don't be alarmed.
I used taco seasoning. Sooo Yummy without feeling guilty. I will try the same with curly kale. Thanks for the great idea.
I didn’t have any of this seasoning so going to try the ‘everything but the bagel seasoning’..
