Kale crisps

Experiment with different seasonings on these crisps. Crumble them into salads or onto soups as well as munching straight from the bowl!

Ingredients

  • Handful of kale
  • Oil – rapeseed or olive oil work well
  • Seasoning – sea salt, paprika, finely-grated lemon zest, ras al-hanout …

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4.
  2. Wash and dry the kale. The drier it is, the better it will crisp.
  3. Tear into pieces, removing any tough stalks. Lay onto a baking tray or two, giving each piece some room.
  4. Drizzle with oil and massage well into every part of the kale.
  5. Bake for 10 mins. Remove from the oven, stir and bake for another 5-10 mins. Don’t let them go too dark or they will be bitter.
  6. Sprinkle with your chosen seasoning and serve right away.
