If you haven't tried kale chips you are missing out! I know they sound righteous and boring but, trust me, they are a crispy, salty way to get more greens in your diet.

If you have regular kale, cut off the stalks (easiest to fold the leaf length ways and cut it down the side) and tear it into chunks. Easier still, grab a bag of baby kale and use it as is.

Spread the leaves in a single layer on some baking paper on a baking tray. I've probably got it a bit too crowded here but I am impatient and greedy. 😁

Drizzle your oil sparingly over the leaves. You don't want so much that they are swimming in oil. I use the spray stuff because I tend to be heavy handed. Olive or any nut oils would work well here.

Sprinkle some salt, to taste. I love love love salt so I go a bit nuts. (Hey, I am living a fructose free, low lactose, caffeine free existence - salt is about the only vice I have left).

Whack 'em into the oven, pre-heated at 180C (what is that in Fahrenheit? Come on folks, didn't you know this is audience participation?). Let them go for 10-15 mins - just until they go dark green.

While they're baking, go about your business. I fried off some bacon for my lunch salad. And who doesn't love a gratuitous bacon shot?

Step 9 of 11
Don't let them go brown -  they will become  bitter. And there you go - that simple. Enjoy these, salty morsels of deliciousness knowing that they are doing you a lot more good than a can of Pringles.
