Description
Keto Spinach Fatayer Pockets are savory pockets filled with a delicious spinach and feta mixture, wrapped in a low-carb almond flour dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, blend together the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Incorporate the softened cream cheese, egg, olive oil, and water into the dry mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough appears too dry, gradually add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
- In a frying pan, warm olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the crumbled feta, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spoon a generous amount of the spinach filling onto the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket, pinching the edges tightly to seal.
- Arrange the filled pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Enhance the flavor by incorporating fresh herbs like dill or parsley into the filling.
- Feel free to swap out spinach for other greens such as kale or Swiss chard for a delightful twist.
