  • Water - 1/2 cup (120ml)
  • Fresh spinach - 2 cups (60g), chopped
  • Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (15g)
  • Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (15ml) for cooking

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and water, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped spinach, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the tapioca mixture; stir until well combined.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil, spreading it evenly.

  5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the crepioca is set. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second crepioca.
