How to make Crispy Kale

My favourite Kale recipe! Just 4 ingredients and 8 minutes in the oven. I bake this when I’m on the minutes but still need something substantial. I serve it with soy sauce egg noodles and steam in the bag vegetables. A perfect meal for when your short on time.

What You’ll need for this Crispy Kale recipe

Kale Leaves I am using Curly Kale but any Variety will work.

Olive Oil Im using Extra Virgin

Sesame Seeds Sesame seeds are optional, another alternative could be chopped peanuts or walnuts for a nutty twist.

Salt I love sea salt on my Crispy Kale.

How To Make Crispy Kale

  1. Wash and dry 4-6 Kale leaves and line them up on a lined baking tray.
  2. Drizzle with Olive oil
  3. Sprinkle with Sesame seeds
  4. Sprinkle Sea Salt
  5. Pop in the Oven at 200 degrees for 8 minutes until brown and Crispy

tip

I don’t strip the leaves from the stem before cooking, I do it after. This way I can hold the stem while pulling the crunchy leaves away.

  • When baked they will look brown and crunchy.
  • Just crumble into pieces with your fingers and scatter on your stir-fry. I liken this Crispy Kale to the crispy seaweed from my local Chinese takeaway. So delicious! Adds a beautiful salty crunch to my meal.
