Sorry for the long pause dearest readers! I’ve been away in Singapore spending time with my family and friends so didn’t really have the time to post the delicious food I’ve been having! But I promise that I will be sharing with you my food adventure in my next few posts! But before I do that, I want to share with you a super snack : kale chips !
Kale is not something I’ve eaten often. But the few moments that I had the chance to have it, I absolutely loved it. I had them as a side to my mains but never had it as a snack before. Some time last year, I’ve seen people making kale chips and I really wanted to make some myself. So when I saw some at Dandenong Markets this morning, I had to get a packet.
When I got home I couldn’t wait to get started! Just the idea of having a healthier snack option was enough to make my belly happy! hehe Especially since I’m trying to get back into a healthier lifestyle. That’s my goal set for this year (: So if you’re like me, and would like to have an option of a healthy snack. Do give this a go! The hubs and I are totally addicted to it now and it’s barely been 12 hours since I’ve made it!
So be warn, cause these are definitely addictive! hehe
Cayenne & Sesame Kale Chips (A Food Made With Love original recipe)
1/2 a packet of kale
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper powder
1 1/2 tbs toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tbs olive oil
Steps :
1) Preheat the oven to 150 degrees celcius. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Trim the tough stems from the kale and discard. Cut the larger leaves into smaller pieces (about 2 inches); leave the small pieces whole.
2) Place the leaves in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Give it a good toss. Season with salt, cayenne pepper and toasted sesame seeds. Give it another good toss, to make sure the leaves are well coated.
3) Arrange the kale on the baking sheets in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes before rotating and bake for another 5 minutes until crispy. Remove the trays from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl.

How long do they stay crispy? I’ve been intrigued by them ever since I saw them on pinterest!
hehe im not sure how long it will last cause the mr and I finished it in 2 days! but living it out in the aussie weather, it was still crispy the next day! so I think it should be able to last if kept in a air tight container for at least a week! (:
That’s pretty good! I’m sure it will turn limp in Msia/Sg weather if not kept properly. hahaha
haha yes! I would think so too! Maybe u could try and make small batches! Do they sell kale in malaysia? Cause can’t get in Singapore!
Have never seen it, perhaps in shops that sells organic ingredients. I’ll keep looking though.
yes! do that cause once you’ve tried it you want more! (: x
Hey Lianne, you can make the chips crispy again by putting it back in the oven for about 5 mins or so :DDD I tried it and it works! hehe
yay! (: Thanks for letting me know! hehe Can’t wait to make more!! xx
