Tangy Kale Chips


I've been wanting to try to make kale chips ever since I saw the first recipe for this treat on the internet. I do love vegetable chips, but am slightly wary of the amounts of fat and additives that can be found in the shop-bought varieties. 

I had a bunch of curly kale delivered in my last veg box, so the time for experimenting had come. The chips turned out quite delectable, nice and crisp, with a little tang from parmesan, garlic and smoked paprika. The spices were enough to make them taste moreish, so I did not add any salt at all.

Kale chips are a quick and easy snack to make when a craving strikes and definitely healthier than potato chips or roasted nuts.


TANGY KALE CHIPS
(serves 2 as a snack)

NEED:

300g kale
2 tbsp olive oil
30g parmesan, finely grated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

DO:

Preheat the oven to 150°C.

Wash and dry the kale and remove the leaves from the thick stalks. Cut into bite-sized pieces and place into a big bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale leaves and toss until well combined. Add parmesan and spices and  toss again until all pieces are nicely coated.

Place in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof baking paper or a silicone mat and bake for 45 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning twice during their time in the oven.

  3. I'm going to save this recipe for my guy. He wants to do a bit of a cleanse, or at least try to get back into clean eating. He may protest the cheese but in comparison to what he's been eating lately this is as clean as it gets. Thanks for sharing!
