Here it is. The namesake recipe. A crispy “fried’ snack that’s satisfying, yet nutritious and power packed with vitamins!
4 leaves Kale (preferably Dino or Italian) cut into chiffonade
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Preheat oven to 400. Remove ribs from kale by sliding your knife neatly against one side and then the other. Layer leaves into a neat stack. Tightly roll leaves into a large “cigar” and slice the whole thing into a chiffonade, or rather, precision cut wafer thin slices. Place in a bowl and mix evenly with remaining ingredients. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and slightly deepened in color. Also try with your favorite flavor combinations. I’ve found a blend of sesame & chili oils along with sesame seeds is also delicious! I am working on a Marmite variety, and for those of you who love its yeasty brine, I will share that recipe, too. Low rent you say? Bah! Honey, Marmite is more expensive than caviar! Word.
Other interesting flavor combinations include:
- Cayenne Pepper, Sugar, Salt and Thyme
- Lemon Juice, Parsley, Minced Garlic, Salt
- Fennel Seed, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Salt
