Curly Kale Crisps

I am always finding new ways I can include kale in my diet to increase my iron intake! And these curly kale crisps are delicious and so simple to make…

Ingredients:

Sainsbury’s sliced curly kale

Virgin olive oil

Sea Salt

Method:

Wash the kale and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Leave to for 1/2 hour uncovered.

Preheat the oven on gas mark 200C.

Take the kale and make sure it is dry.

Line a baking tray with foil and speak the kale out evenly on the tray.

Drizzle with a olive oil and sea salt and place in the warm oven for approx 20-25 mins

The time will vary on the type of oven you have so I would start checking after 15mins. Once it is cooked take out of the oven and leave to cool down and crisp up before serving!
