Kale Crisps

Ingredients

• Fresh Kale

• Sea Salt Flakes

Method

It is best to remove hard stalks and prepare crisps just with a soft and fleshy part of leaves.

Using your fingers, break leaves into smaller irregular pieces. Wash and dry them in a salad spinner.

Place them on a large baking tray lined with a baking parchment.

Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle some sea salt flakes.

Bake in fan assisted oven in 180°C for 10 minutes.

Nutrition Facts

For people with high blood pressure it is best to use the minimum of salt. To add a bit of taste, you can use other spices, like paprika or cumin or even some sesame seeds.

Kale is particularly rich in a couple of flavonoids - quercetin and kaempferol. According to studies, flavonoids do not get destroyed in high temperature. They have a powerful effect on your heart health, can help to lower blood pressure and have anti-viral and anti-depressant properties.

Kale is rich in many minerals, such as Manganese, Copper, Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium and Iron.

Just a handful of kale crisps will provide you with a good amount of insoluble fibre, which is great for your digestive health and promotes the feeling of satiety.
