Spicy crunchy kale crisps

17th April 2017 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

So kale crisps have become a rather fashionable snack and I have to be completely honest with you guys – I wasn’t at all convinced on these before I made them myself. I was never a big kale fan. I mean, I’d eat it if it happened to be on my plate, but I’d never put it on my shopping list. When I did finally make these, I was shocked at how delicious roasted kale leaves actually are! They are just as satisfying as potato crisps, but much healthier and better for you. Be adventurous and experiment with your own flavours – try lemon and coriander or sesame seeds and lime!

Ingredients

  • 100 g kale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp dried chilli flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C (gas mark 6). 
  • Rinse then dry the kale leaves. Remove centre stalks ensuring all the harder, stem-like bits are gone and tear the leaves into bite size pieces, then toss in the oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and chilli flakes. 
  • Arrange the kale in a single layer on a baking tray and bake for around 5-10 minutes, or until crisp (I usually give them a little move about in between to ensure all sides are crispy). Transfer to a rack to cool, then serve.

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted
* 50 g caramelised biscuit spread
* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.  #biscoff #caramelisedbiscuit #cookies #chewycookies #chocoholic #dessertporn #vegandessert #vegetarianrecipe #recipe #foodporn #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #foodinspo #foodblog #foodie #foodshare #veganmealprep #veganism #foodinsta #fitspiration #cantbelieveitsvegan #cleaneating #diet #mealprepinspo #plantbaseddiet #bvsbackdrops
