Nutty kale crisps

Nutty kale crisps

Kale, for me, is not a very tasty green leaf vegetable, on top being tough needs long cooking. But I do like to turn them into crisps, lovely to eat and a good snacks anytime. 

1. Wash and dry around 30 pieces of kale with stalk, the stalk will be too hard to eat, but great to hold the shape, could also remove the stalk first.

2. Grind a big handful of walnut (or peanut etc) with olive oil until a sloppy paste, season with salt, black pepper and curry powder (optional).

3. Mix nut mixture with kale, massage gently until nut is well spread all over kale and the leaves turned soft.

4. Spread out nutty kale leaves on baking paper on oven racks, bake at 80˚C for 15 minutes, turn down to 60˚C until kale dry and crisp, around 2 hours, open oven door every half hour to release steam.
