While I do not have a lot of time to watch TV, my favourite past time is and has been since I was a kid, is watching cooking shows. It blooms inspiration. My kids love watching some of the cooking shows to now especially the ones that feature kids!
Recently I watched a show called The Chew and Dolvett Quince was a guest on the show. He’s a celebrity trainer with at the time of this post, a book called the 3-1-2-1 Diet.
While on The Chew he made a skirt steak and spinach chips. Kale chips are not my favourite thing, but I was very intrigued by these spinach chips. When you work from home, it’s always good to plan ahead as far as the snacks go. Or you could end up snacking all day on the wrong foods while you work. Same with working in an office although planning ahead is a little easier when you make and take a lunch to work!
When making these spinach chips, use only a little of your favourite spice. I like to add hot chili flakes. Once cooked they melt in your mouth. One of two kids liked them. Time to try them again.

Spinach is our fav one.. your recipe image tempting me to try it very soon.. Thanks for sharing it..
Thanks for stopping by Bhawya!
What is the cooking spray for? Is their a substitute?
You could mix olive oil on the spinach first instead of cooking spray. We find cooking spray (olive oil spray) easier and use it the same way we use cooking spray or olive oil on baked french fries, vegetables or other items we roast – for flavour and helps with crisping the spinach!
I’ve tried making kale chips before, but I’ve never thought to make spinach chips. These look so crispy and perfect!
Thanks Chelsea…problem is I never make enough! They are addicting!
I’ll take these over kale chips any day!
Thanks Melissa – they really are yummy!
I did not care for Kale chips at all. I just don’t like it. I do like chard and wonder how it would work or beet leaves. With Chard you might have to cut out the big veins. I am going to play with it next summer.
I prefer spinach to kale chips myself. I like your idea of playing with chard or beet leaves. Wondering about bok choy as well. Let me know how your experiments turn out!
I just tried them with salt and some paprika. Very, very good. Should be fun at a party.
