Recipe Tips

    Keep them crispy…

Kale crisps are best eaten within a few hours of making. If they become soft, just pop them back in a low oven for 3-4 mins to crisp up.

 

Make your own spice blend…

As an alternative to ras el hanout, try sprinkling over 1 tsp each of turmeric, ground cinnamon and coriander before baking.

ras el hanout means top of the shop. A Middle Eastern spice mixture which includes rose petals. Very nice and tasty.

 

This fried kale closely resembles what used to be called fried seaweed in Chinese restaurants.

 

I often used to make it but forgot about it until this reminder. I'll start doing it again. I remember the grandchildren loved it.
