Emergency Feeds; Kale Crisps

Nom nom nom nom nom...these crisps are so addictive and I PROMISE they are NOT as disgusting or as 'trendy' as they sound and they will feel like crisps in your mouth! Kale is definitely a food that will love you back, it's full of iron, magnesium, fibre, Vitamin C and even Omega 3! You go Kale, you go! The problem with Kale is that I kinda resent the piety that glowing hipsters have given it with all that green juice they drink, cause most of the time, that stuff looks and tastes like ditch water! I also resent the soggy spoonfuls of slop that my Granny used to dump on to my plate on Sunday. So yeah, Kale has had a pretty hard time. BUT here is something delicious that you can do with Kale that does not result in ditch green juice or the Creature From The Green Lagoon these are the PERFECT emergency feed! Takes 12 minutes tops.
In a shallow bowl put 2tbsp of olive oil, if you are eco friendly (hurray) pop into your garden and get 3 large kale leaves which you will now rinse, dry, remove the stalk from and cut into Doritos size pieces, the rest of you...open a bag of prepared kale (boo hiss). Toss the kale in the oil and lay the little green don't-wannabe-Doritos on a baking tray. Sprinkle them with sea salt and some black pepper.
Put them in the oven for 10 minutes at 150c. These WILL burn if they have a chance, the lower the heat and the longer they cook the better, once they start to brown get them out of there.
These are gorgeous (and addictive) like this but if you fancy more flavour then before you put them in the oven sprinkle them with...
1. Garam Masala - a surprisingly nice Indian twist.
2. Parmesan and Lemon Zest - slightly decadent but Oh. So. Good.
3. Paprika and Garlic Powder - olé, suddenly we're in Spain!
4. Soy Sauce and Ginger - mix these into the oil, no need to tha me yet!
