I got inspiration to make these crisps watching an episode of Masterchef Australia (a place where I get a lot of my food inspiration from). Kale is such a nutrient dense vegetable. It is so low in calories, high in iron, loaded with fibre and antioxidants. This is perhaps the best way (so far until I experiment more) that I have started to enjoy kale and best of all… it is a non-fried snack! Who wouldn’t like to have that? In under 30 minutes, you can enjoy this baked and crispy leafy green.

Total cook time: 30 minutes
Servings: Enough to snack all day 😀
Ingredients
- 200 gms curly kale (washed and dried – see below)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp red chilli flakes
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt or 2 pinches to sprinkle over all the crisps
Method
- Pre-heat the oven at 150 degree celsius.
- Prepare the kale by washing it and drying it thoroughly using a cloth to ensure you remove most of the water on the surface.
- Remove the leaves from the thick stems.
- Transfer the leaves on to a baking tray lined with parchment paper (I used two tray’s to spread it evenly).
- Drizzle olive oil over the dried kale.
- Using your hands rub the oil all over the kale so it is evenly coated all over.
- Sprinkle the salt, chilli flakes and ground black pepper.
8. Bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges just start to brown but not burn (it’s a thin line!).
Hope you enjoy this!
