Kale Chips with Sesame Seasoning
My 3yo daughter can detect a single molecule of chlorophyll in her food and reject a meal because of it, so you can imagine my surprise when I made some kale chips one day & she pretty much inhaled the entire batch! Kids, hey? 🙄 😆
Luckily for her (and me) it’s kale season in these parts, so we can get beautiful bunches of organically-grown kale from the local Farmers’ Market. Yes, ideally we’d grow our own, but until we get some more garden beds set up, we’ll enjoy the fruits……and vegetables……of someone else’s labour.
I tend to keep things pretty simple when making kale chips – olive oil, vinegar & salt – but tonight I remembered the tin of Pickld Sesame Seasoning that I recently bought. It tastes fantastic on steamed & roast veggies, with a nice little crunch, so I thought it would be a good thing to try on the kale chips. Boy, when I’m right, I’m right! Sooooooooooo gooooooooooood!!!
There are several varieties in the Pickld range, all hand-blended using family recipes created over 9 generations of vegetarians. They all have a base of activated lentils (hence the name ‘Pickld’) and superfoods to support your digestive health and add a boost of nutrients.
All the varieties except the chilli blend come with a little recipe book, but here’s how I created these super-tasty Sesame Kale Chips:
- 1 bunch of kale, preferably organic
- 3 spoons of Pickld Sesame Seasoning (there is a little spoon in the packet), plus extra to sprinkle at the end
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
- 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder (optional)
- Preheat oven to 125C (250F) (fan-only setting if you have one) & line a large tray with non-stick baking paper or a silicone mat.
- Strip kale leaves off the central stem (cut with a knife or use your hands) & cut/tear the leaves into chip-sized pieces. They’ll shrink a bit in the oven, so don’t make them really small.
- Place kale leaves on the tray & sprinkle with other ingredients. Mix well using clean hands, massaging the kale leaves until they’re fully covered & looking shiny.
- Place in the oven for approx 30 mins, or until dry & crispy, ensuring to stir the leaves a few times to avoid burning. (If you have a dehydrator, you can use that instead. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.)
- Remove from the oven & sprinkle with a little more of the Pickld Sesame Seasoning…..because yum!!!
- Eat, then wish you’d made extra because those ones disappeared in under 2 minutes!
