Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen spinach works perfectly! Just thaw it completely and squeeze out as much water as possible before mixing it into the batter.

How long do these keep in the fridge?

You can store these strips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat gently before serving.

Is this safe for babies under 12 months?

Yes! As long as you have safely introduced egg and dairy (allergens) to your baby, the soft texture and strip shape make this an excellent food for babies 8 months and older.

Super Spinach & Cheese Power Strips

Vegetarian · 8m+ · en

These fluffy baked spinach and ricotta strips are a fantastic way to introduce healthy winter greens to your baby or toddler. Packed with protein from eggs and chickpea flour, they are easy to hold, soft on the gums, and perfect for baby-led weaning or a quick toddler lunch.

Serve alongside some mashed sweet potato or a warm apple puree for a complete winter lunch.
Make sure the spinach is chopped very finely to avoid stringy textures that can cause gagging in babies.
For older toddlers, sprinkle a little grated mild cheddar or manchego cheese on top before baking for a crunchy, cheesy crust.
