Instructions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, crumbled feta, 1 tbsp olive oil, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

Pro tip: Ensure the spinach is dry to prevent sogginess.

3

Prepare the Pitas

Cut each pita bread in half and gently open each half to create a pocket.

Pro tip: Be careful not to tear the pita pockets.

4

Fill the Pitas

Stuff each pita pocket with the spinach and feta mixture.

Pro tip: Pack the filling tightly for even baking.

5

Brush with Olive Oil

Place stuffed pitas on a baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil.

Pro tip: This will help the pitas crisp up in the oven.

6

Bake the Pitas

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pitas are golden brown and crispy.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
