Who likes Crisps? Who doesn't...
We all know they are not great for us, actually pretty toxic (but damn delicious). A while ago I heard of a tater chip substitute, Kale Chips. Yes, of course I was dubious. It's green, no way would this even come anywhere near the glory that is the potato chip. Well, was I wrong! These little green gems are something else. Crispy, salty, perfect! And not to mention how great Kale is for you! Let’s just say antioxidants, cholesterol lowering, anti cancer. Oh, and your good friend Fibre. I promise, these are a very pleasing snack!
Kale Chips Recipe:
1 bunch of Fresh Kale
a smattering of olive oil
a shake of sea salt
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180C. Wash your kale well. Dry it equally well with paper towel or a clean tea towel. Rip leaves into bite size pieces and place into a bowl. Add oil and salt and mix up nicely. Spread out evenly on a non-stick cookie tray. Place in oven. Turn/toss leaves after 5-10 minutes. Cook until kinda crunchy. Remove from oven and allow cooling.
The chips tend to crunch up a bit more upon cooling. Be careful not to add too much salt, these babies take it on really easily. You can experiment with spices and stuff if you like, just be careful of the preservatives and msg.
Snack well!
