Kale Crisps

Ingredients

• 200 g / 1 bunchcurly kale, stems stripped
• 1 tbsp / 15 mlolive oil
• ¼ tspfine salt, added after baking

Method

1. 01

   Heat the oven to 150°C / 300°F. Low heat is what keeps them green.

2. 02

   Tear the leaves. Toss with the oil until every frill is just coated, not wet.

3. 03

   Spread in a single layer. Bake 15–18 minutes, until the edges feel dry and the centres have lost their chew.

4. 04

   Salt them as they come out. Eat before they soften.

Keeps

Eat the same day

The usual failure

Salt before the oven, or oil pooled in the frills. Both turn the leaves to leather. Salt after. Oil lightly.

Allergens

None of the usual ones. Vegan and gluten-free.

Substitutions

Cavolo nero in place of curly kale. The stems still come off.
