Today I received a large bag of Kale in my Abel and Cole Veg Box.
So I made some crisps!
I can’t stop eating them. (Must save some for my daughter…)

To make your own…

you will need:
1 large bag of Curly Kale
1 tablespoon Marmite or similar yeast extract spread.
2 tablespoons Olive oil/Coconut Oil (or similar)
Few dashes of GF Soy Sauce (this is not absolutely necessary so for those who avoid legumes omit at your will).
1 tablespoon of ground almonds.

Skim off the beautiful green leaves from the thick central stalk of the Kale and please leaves in a large bowl.

Mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour/scoop over Kale. Then mix mix mix! Ensure every last leaf is coated with your salty mixture.
Then spread out onto a baking sheet ( i used two as you want to spread the leaves out in one layer.) and bake in a very very cool oven. Mine was at the lowest setting I could manage but all ovens vary.. try around 70 degrees c.

The time they take to ‘dehydrate’ also varies – but ensure you don’ burn them. Keep checking them and tasting!

I put mine in for around 45mins to an hour.

Yum. They will keep in a zip lock bag or tupperware for a couple of days but good luck with that. Mine are disappearing fast.

This is AMAZING!
I’ve just come up with this ‘bar’ which has turned out to be more like fudge than anything else. It’s sugar and grain free and very low carb.
Try it.
You will need
120g butter- I used Goats…
120g xylitol
5g Stevia – I used Pure Via
1 tsp vanilla extract
30g ground Almonds
50g whole shelled pistachio nuts
40g whole macadamia nuts
20g dark chocolate I used 70% green and blacks
2 heaped spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa powder

Melt the butter and xylitol in a pan over a medium heat until it bubbles.
Remove from heat.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the pan and stir.
Pour into a small square tin and spread out.
Pop into the fridge for 1/2 an hour.

To serve, remove from fridge and cut into squares.
It is quite rich and yummy. Give it to your kids, serve it with coffee.
Do it today.
