Kale chips with coconut oil
Kale chips with coconut oil

A healthy, crunchy, salty, superfood chip. Who would have thought kale could taste so good!

Based on a recipe in the Bondi Harvest cookbook – his mix of fragrant spices and coconut oil is a winner.

They are super delicious chips, with a hint of superfood.

Ingredients

  • 100ml coconut oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp thyme leaves
  • 1 bunch kale- stalked removed, kept in large pieces
  • Preheat oven to 175°C/345°F.

Method

Put the coconut oil, salt, pepper, zest, paprika, chia seeds, and thyme in a large bowl that will fit the kale – mix to combine then add the kale and toss until the kale is coated evenly.

Place the kale leaves on 1 – 2 baking trays lined with baking paper and make sure the leaves do not overlap so they all crisp up evenly. Cook at least 10 minutes – the smaller ones may need to be removed first if they are crisp, then cook a few minutes longer for the larger leaves – I sometimes cook them up to 20 minutes so all leaves are super crispy.
