Brilio.net - Spinach is a green vegetable that is rich in health benefits. According to information from medicalnewstoday.com, spinach contains various important nutrients such as iron, vitamins C and E, potassium, and magnesium. These nutrients play a role in boosting the immune system, supporting digestive function, and even have anticancer properties.

Due to its high nutritional value, many people enjoy consuming spinach in various forms of processing. Spinach is often used as the main ingredient in soups , omelettes, or as a side dish to accompany the main dish.

In addition to being a side dish, spinach can also be processed into delicious snacks such as spinach chips which are famous for their crispiness. The traditional method of making spinach chips usually involves coating spinach leaves with flour batter before frying in hot oil until dry. Although the use of flour produces a crispy texture, it also adds to the calorie content of this snack.

For a healthier alternative, it is recommended to avoid using flour in making spinach chips. A TikTok user with the account name @naktekpang shared a tutorial on making healthier spinach chips without using the frying technique. According to @naktekpang, this method produces a nutritious snack that comes from vegetables.

So the first thing to do is wash the spinach. After washing, pick each leaf. For beautiful results, it is better to use wide and large leaves.

Next, prepare the seasoning. In the video, he uses 1 tbsp of miso paste, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and 1 tbsp of warm water. Miso paste is a seasoning made from fermented soybeans. If it is difficult to get, you can replace it with tauco which has a similar taste because it is also made from soybeans.

Now, mix all the ingredients together until the texture is thick. Then apply the sauce to each spinach leaf. To make it easier, you can use a brush to apply the seasoning.

Once done, arrange each spinach leaf on the dehydrator (food dryer). Then dry it for 6 hours at a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius. In addition to drying with a dehydrator, you can also dry spinach using an oven or dried manually under the sun.

Well, after drying, the texture of the spinach will be crispier and crunchier. Because the water content is also gone, the spinach looks thinner and transparent. Not only does it look beautiful, it also tastes savory and addictive.

"Basically, if you have excess vegetables, you can make it like this," explained TikTok @naktekpang.
