Baked Kale Chips


For anyone who hasn't tried these yet, I recommend giving them a go, they are great for when you have the munchies and don't want to end up eating several large bags of Doritos..

Kale is super nourishing and packed with vitamin K for strong bones, plus anti-ageing, anti-cancer antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin C. Your Doritos won't do that for you...


How to do it:

Wash raw kale and tear it into bite size pieces. Discard any thick stems and ribs.

Dry the kale thoroughly with kitchen roll.

Toss the torn kale in a tiny bit of olive oil or use a spray bottle to lightly coat it.

Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking tray and sprinkle lightly with salt.


Before...



Bake at 170 degrees C until crisp (5 to 10 minutes).

Keep a close eye on it as it only takes about 10 seconds to go from crisp, bright green kale chips to black, charred cinders.


...After



Try different flavours by adding miso paste / tahini / lemon juice / chilli flakes / smoked paprika / sesame seeds / anything you fancy.

  1. Just a quick note - if your chips taste a bit bitter, make sure you remove all the stalky bits from the kale. Also adding lemon juice gives a lighter flavour x
