What's this? Where am I? Oh that's right, I once had a blog that used to post photos of food.... and yeah mostly just food on.

Well it has been an incredibly long time between posts but I am back with... *pause for drum roll*... SUPER EASY KALE CHIPS!




Yes kale chips, the darling snack of vegans, health nuts and hipsters everywhere which give you the perfect crunchy sound effect to slightly annoy everyone else in the movie/lecture/library/other generic quiet location, while at the same time being packed full of flavour, iron and fibre!

Did I mention they are super low in fat? No? Surprise! Yay for health benefits!







Now there are literally (not literally) a bazillion different recipes out there for kale chips, so I thought I would stick with the quickest and super easiest (title reference check) version you can whip up with very little forethought. You can literally walk in the door after a day at work and be munching on these babies in less than 20 minutes!

Annnnddddddd here's how:



Ingredients:

 

A bunch of fresh kale
3 tbsp olive oil (or coconut or whatever type you like!)
Large pinch each of sea salt and ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more if you like fire in your mouth)
1/2 tsp each of ground turmeric and paprika
2 tsp ground cumin

**You can really use whatever spices you like and/or have on hand, I just happen to like this combo!
 
  
Wash your kale leaves and dry well. Strip the leaves from the stalks and spread out over a couple of baking trays lined with baking paper, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping to much.

Pour the oil evenly over the leaves and use your hands to rub it in, making sure the leaves are well covered. In a small bowl combine the remaining ingredients and then rub this spice mix into the leaves. 

Bake at 150 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes or until the leaves are crispy and smell aromatic but haven't started to brown. 

Remove, allow to cool to a temperature accommodating to the human tongue and enjoy!
