Kale Chips with Sriracha & Lime

If you haven't gotten on the kale chip bandwagon yet, here's your chance. Crunchy yet
ethereal, these are the perfect low carb snack food – not to mention good for you! What more can you ask for in a chip?

Serves 4

• 1 bunch of kale, washed well
• juice of half a lime
• 2 Tbl olive oil
• 1 Tbl Sriracha
• 1 tsp GF soy sauce
• 1 tsp fish sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove kale from the stems and break into chip sized
pieces. Dry thoroughly by blotting with paper towels and add to a large bowl. Combine the
lime juice, olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce and fish sauce in a small bowl and whisk. Taste and adjust for heat and saltiness accordingly. Pour the dressing over the kale leaves and using tongs or clean hands, toss to coat each "chip" thoroughly. Spread the leaves out on two greased cookie sheets making sure they don't overlap. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until dry and crisp – take care not to over cook or they can get bitter.

Crunchy Kale Chips

A good alternative to potato chips!

Ingredients:

• a bunch of kale, broken into even sized pieces (1.2g of sugar per 100g and 9g of carbs)
• oil by your choice (olive, coconut or any other oil with mild taste)
• 1 tsp salt
• seasoning of your choice (such as garlic, dried bell pepper, chilli, thyme, curry, dried basil etc)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 140-150°C.
1. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Tear the kale leaves in evenly chip-sized pieces. If the sizes vary a lot, it is very likely that some chips will get burnt while others aren't done yet.
3. In a bowl mix these pieces thoroughly with the oil, salt and seasoning, then place them on the covered baking sheet.
4. Be very careful not to burn the chips. It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes for the kale chip
sides to get brown and ready to serve.
