Kale Crisps


A quick and easy snack; a thousand times more healthier than regular crisps.

Kale, along with other leafy greens, is the top food listed in the 'Aggregate Nutrient Density Index' (ANDI) list. Foods are scored on a scale from 1-1000 based on nutrient content. ANDI scores are calculated by evaluating an extensive range of micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidant capacities.

As the kale leaves shrink during the bake process, I am always tempted to make another batch immediately after they come out of the oven as I never think there's going to be enough. However, as one serving of kale (80g / 30z) is only 40 calories, a second helping isn't going to pile on the pounds!

Kale Crisps
Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:
- 80g / 3oz kale
- cooking spray
- cumin
- chili powder
- paprika
- ground black pepper
- salt, optional

Method:
First break off any thick kale stalks.
Place kale leaves in a bowl, spray with cooking spray and then sprinkle spices and salt and pepper over the kale.
Using hands, mix and rub the spices into the kale. Repeat if necessary.

Lay kale leaves on a large baking tray.

Bake at 150C / 300F for 15 minutes. Let kale crisps cool for a few minutes.
ENJOY!
