You are probably familiar with kale chips but are you friends with spinach chips? If not, I hope this post will change that. With a overabundance (understatement) of fresh spinach I was trying to come up with unique ways on how to use these beautiful leaves. Then I thought… kale is kinda like spinach in texture.. I wonder if I can make spinach chips?
Healthy Spinach Chips
Let me tell you, you can! And honestly, I think these are better than kale chips. The chips just melt in your mouth. I am totally guilty of just wanting to eat a few, then I come back and get a entire bowl’s worth. But it’s spinach so it’s a guilt free snack! I love guilt free snacking, don’t you?
The seasoning I’m giving in this recipe is my favorite way to have them as it adds a touch of spice – a little cumin, paprika, cayenne and sea salt. Yum! You can then eat them as is, or add a little bit of fresh salsa on top. This just brings it past the amazing mark, I love it.
Healthy Alternative to Potato Chips
Here’s some beautiful fresh spinach just picked from the garden!
Why are spinach leaves so beautiful and so perfect? Marvel in their beauty!
Now take the spinach leaves off the stem.
Spinach, you won my heart.
Add your olive oil and massage so all the leaves are coated.
Arrange on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Now get your spices. Keep in mind if you are doing multiple batches of these chips due to cookie sheet size (I did 4 cookie sheets full) to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Sprinkle on top.. and into the oven it goes..
And out of the oven it comes. Beautiful!
The smell of these chips are amazing! You’re going to want to snack on these spinach chips right away!
Enjoy this spinach chips recipe!

Baked Spinach Chips
Baked Spinach Chips is a healthy snack made with fresh spinach! This baked recipe is so easy to make! It's a healthy alternative to potato chips!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Place your spinach leaves in a bowl, add oil and massage so all leaves are coated.
- Lay the spinach leaves out on the parchment paper so they aren't touching each other. Depending on the size of your cookie sheets, you might have to do a few batches.
Add cumin, paprika, pepper and salt to a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle your seasoning on top of all of the spinach leaves.
- Bake for 8-16 minutes. Watch them carefully as they will burn. Remove from oven when they are crispy. The bigger the leaves, the more time they will take.
- Let spinach chips cool down and then enjoy!
Those spinach are absolutely gorgeous! And the chip idea is brilliant! I think I prefer these over kale any day. Looks delicious Pamela! 🙂
Thanks Anne! I was amazed by how much more I loved these than kale chips!
I’ve been dying to make baked kale chips, or raw kale chips, but I’ve never got to that point. But these baked spinach chips, that sound so cool!
They are super delicious, practically melt in your mouth! I hope you make them. 🙂
That looks excellent! I’ve been very intrigued by kale chips, but for whatever strange and sad reason kale is just NOT my friend… I eat everything, but I just don’t like kale. So this is perfect! Will be trying it!
Enjoy Alla! They are a real treat!
I am SO excited about spinach chips! I made kale chips last friday for the first time and Josh was not even the slightest bit interested. He loves spinach, so I know this would be a hit!
Awesome, let me know how you both like them Kelly!
I’ve only made kale chips once or twice but really meant to do it more often. However, I’m changing that to instead make these! I love spinach, from the bottom of my heart. It is my friend, my love and will be excellent in chip form!
If you’re a spinach lover, these will melt in your mouth and heart! <3
These look so good!! I’ve been meaning to try kale chips but I think I might go right to these spinach ones. Thanks for sharing!!
Enjoy Dan! Happy snacking!
I am totally going to give these a try. I feel like I just get healthier reading your blog with all the different ways to use veggies 🙂
Thanks Laura! Hope you do try them!
You have been one busy girl! Wow…these baked spinach chips look awesome. I’m ready to start munching and crunching NOW! I’ve had them before and enjoyed them (even before kale chips…it was a low carb thing), but must try your recipe. Beautiful photos, too. Thanks for sharing, m’lady! P.S. Double-checked and had to re-add you to Bloglovin’. Don’t know what their deal is. But, your feed is now there. Now, I won’t miss your sunshine. Yay! 🙂
Aw thanks Stacy! These are great for munching and crunching, one of my favorite snacks right now!
SO glad I stumbled upon your blog again! I kept trying to remember the name and forgetting, all I could remember were your fabulous cats! Adding you to my reader now 🙂
And these look great! I’ve made kale chips but I am not a kale fan. I do, however, LOVE spinach. So these are a must-try 🙂
Thanks Ashley Bee! My cats send over a sweet little meow! 🙂 Hope you give these a try!
What an AWESOME idea! These look GREAT!
Thanks Shashi!
Wow, I’ve never thought of making them with spinach! I’d love to have a big bowl of these and tell people that I’m eating a salad 😉
That works for me! I can easily finish a big bowl of these!
You’re such the inventor girl! I love the idea of spinach chips, I mean why not and why hasn’t anyone thought of it sooner! You’re on a roll here, you could even start selling these! The spinach, like all of your vegetables, looks perfect. 😉 xoxo, Jackie
Thanks Jackie! These chips just melt in your mouth, they totally defeat kale chips in my eyes!
I’d love these for a snack right about now!
I have a bowl of them, come on over! 🙂
oh yummy,these spinach chips look crisp perfect and super healthy,so well seasoned and bet they will taste scrumptious,loved the idea:-)
Thank you! Isn’t it just the best when you can snack happily and healthy?
That spinach is gorgeous. I love kale chips, never tried spinach chips though!
I hope you give it a try Jaclyn!
These look awesome! I tried making kale chips once but was too impatient to spread them out in a single layer without overcrowding, and they never really got crisp 🙁 How long did it take you to bake all of them??
I did 4 cookie sheets full, 2 in the oven at once.. so about 30-40 minutes tops for all of them. They are such a quick, crispy snack!
Perfect timing on this post! I have a ridiculous amount of extra spinach in my house right now. I’ve been putting it in lots of smoothies – but I’ve been trying to decide what else to do with it. I love kale chips …. so I’m thinking these are pretty awesome too!
I hear you Ashley, I’m swimming in spinach! This is such a great way to use it up in a snacky way!
I’ve always wanted to try kale or spinach chips..then I forget about them. Must try this!
I hope you give it a try Ashley! They just melt in your mouth! It’s hard to stop… but it’s spinach, so keep snacking. 😉
Who doesn’t love guilt-free snacking?? I have failed everytime I try to make kale chips but perhaps I will have more luck with spinach chips!
Good luck Davida! Let me know how they turn out. 🙂
These look so awesome, I would love to top it on my risotto that I’m having now ..
That sounds like a delicious idea! 🙂
What a great idea! They look tasty & healthy.
They are Pam! Thanks 🙂
Wow – I need to get spinach that good first, Pamela! Love this idea of spinach chips! I sprinkle cayenne and paprika on everything so this is for me. What a great all-day snack!
Definitely Monica! It’s great for all day snacking, but I’m guilty for eating them in bed. 😛
Your spinach is so gorgeous! The spinach I buy at the grocery store doesn’t look anything like that!
I dont like Kale at all – so thank you for introducing me to these ! I love spinach so much I could give popeye a run for his money! I cant find enough ways to eat spinach.
I like the addition of salsa – how much healthier can this get – not much!
I love your Popeye comment! 🙂 Enjoy these Archana, they are great for spinach lovers!
this is just fantastic. I had been waiting for this post.
Thanks Dixya! 🙂
YOu are so creative, Pamela! These are hands down what I really wan to try! You make them look so tasty and appetizing! (Cz your pics rock!)
Thank you Gloria! 🙂
This is definitely a game changer. Why haven’t I done this before?!
Totally! They definitely helped improve my snacking habits at night! 🙂
You are right…you hear about kale chips all the time. Nice to know you can use spinach.
Equally delicious, I think even more so! 🙂
Hi Pamela. Not only do I love that you used spinach instead of kale…but also that you used coconut oil! Both of those are new for me, and now I’m super eager to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing!
Coconut oil is new to me too! I’ve only started using it this summer but it’s become a staple now!
These look great! I SO need to try!!!
Snack away Kayle!
What an awesome idea! 🙂
Thanks Jennifer!
I’ve been hearing about these but haven’t taken the time to try them. I’m so glad you did and can report such good results! You’re spinach is absolutely beautiful, I confess, I’ve been just staring at it! 🙂
My spinach just blushed! 🙂 Thank you!
I never ever would have thought to make spinach chips-I love kale chips so these are right up my alley!
Enjoy Dawn! I love them!
The salty in me just swooned. So crispy! The perfect snack date, indeed!
Totally! Next movie date, I’m sneaking some of these chips in!
Gorgeous!! I need more guilt-free snacks in my kitchen!!
I hear you on that! I love having a bowl of these around at all times.. keeps me away from the Oreo cookies! 😉
Total kale chip addict here. I have had spinach chips at a restaurant, but I think they used so much oil, they were basically fried. I LOVE coconut oil too. Have you seen the one that comes in the spray can? I may have to get some of that for these chips.
I have a giant container of coconut oil that I bought on amazon – it was such a deal!
Enjoy Katie!
Yay! Always down to try variations on addictive crunchy snacks… I found that coconut oil makes leafy greens crisp up even more deliciously in the oven.
Coconut oil is the best, isn’t it?
These look super! I haven’t tried kale chips but spinach is easier for me to get hold of, so i’ll have to try these!
Hope you can make these… enjoy!
I would have never thought to make spinach chips. Great idea! Sounds delicious!
Thanks Andrea!
This is SUCH a good idea! You always hear about Kale chips.. I’ve never heard of using spinach, definitely need to give this a try!
I LOVE Kale chips so I bet I would love these too! Must try 🙂
Give them a try and let me know what you think! Snack away!
i am going to try out your recipe.
Enjoy!
Pamela, thank you for visiting my blog! Spinach chips is such a great idea – and I love your detailed photos with step-by-step instructions. And, I love New York City and so jealous that you live there. I spent a whole month in NYC this July and try to visit NYC every year. In fact, I am planning to post a series of posts about my time in NYC pretty soon. 🙂
Hey Julia – thank you! Hope your NYC trip was a good one, can’t wait to see pictures and hear all about it! 🙂
I’ve done kale before but never spinach, I love that you are always so innovative with your delicious recipes!
Thanks Nik! Hope you give these a try, they’re delicious!
Tried them with kale but not spinach. Need to give them a try! Great idea!
Enjoy! Snack away!
I am a HUGE spinach lover, so when I saw this recipe I know it was meant for me :). This looks divine. Have to make this for myself
Enjoy them! Snack away! 🙂
Spinach chips!? Well I’ll be…! I’ve never heard of them until now but I’m a huge spinach lover so I’m really keen to try them. You’ve reminded me to follow your blog more often. It’s so beautiful and full of great recipes 🙂

Awesome, glad you liked them!
I wonder if we could add 2 layers of spinach leaves per chip, double up?
You could definitely try, you might just need to bake a little longer.

I have loved spinach since I was a little girl. I live your idea. However, I’m allergic to anything coconut. What can I use as a substitute to make these incredible snack spinach chips.
Hey Judith, the recipe doesn’t call for any coconut products, I think you might have seen that in a comment? I recommend using olive oil to coat the spinach. Enjoy these chips – they’re delicious!
These are delicious! They taste much better than I imagined. Thank you!!
