Crispy Spinach Recipe

Crispy Spinach is an appetizer dish where in spinach are dipped in a batter and fried until crispy. This is a very simple recipe that takes minimal effort and time to prepare. If you like having Chicharon (pork rinds) then you might want to try this recipe as a healthier alternative – just make sure to line paper towels on the plate to absorb excess oil.

I grew up eating a similar kind of dish: Crispy Kangkong. It goes well as an appetizer for fried dishes.

The key to this recipe is the type of dipping sauce that you will use. Although the texture of fried leaves are good, the taste is close to none. Having a good tasting dipping sauce should make up for the lack of taste of this dish. The Asian Dipping Sauce does a great job in giving life to this crispy fried dish.
