Krispy Kale Chips
Including vegetables at snack times will help you to meet your 5 serves per day. Unfortunately I’m not the type of person who will happily eat a cup of carrot sticks... which means I need to think outside of the box when planning my snacks!
Kale ‘Chips’ are a go to in my household - they’re super quick and tasty. I tend to whip them up when it’s close to dinner and I’m feeling peckish but don’t need a substantial snack. FYI if it’s been 3-4 hours since my last meal and my next one is more than 1 hour away I’ll reach for something rich in protein (e.g. nuts, yoghurt, hummus, canned tuna etc.) ANYWAY let’s not get off topic...:roll:
Dark green leafy veg provides us with so many important vitamins (eg Vitamin K), minerals (eg iron and calcium) and fibre. Put simply - they’re SUPER good for us.
Please give these a go - I promise they won’t disappoint!
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch kale
EVOO
Sea salt
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius
2. Cut the leaves from the stems and make sure they’re nice and dry
3. Leave the ‘ribs’ in the leaves - this is where all the fibre is!
4. Place the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with EVOO, add salt, and massage into the kale with your hands
5. Place the kale in a single layer on baking trays lined with baking paper
6. Bake for 12 - 20 minutes or until crispy, turning the leaves over half way
7. Experiment with adding different flavours such as dried chilli & lime juice, paprika, balsamic vinegar or soy sauce & sesame seeds
