Winter time is kale time.
And what you can't do with the power vegetables!
But has anyone ever heard of crisps made from kale?
Kale is incredibly diverse.
As there are: a kale salad, the wonderful kale vegetables * and of course the kale stew.
But you can also conjure up chips from the winter vegetables.
You heard right: Chips!
Crunchy, spicy, tasty and very healthy.
Not found yet?
Then let's take a look at these
winter vegetable chips
.
The preparation is a breeze and only takes around 40 minutes ...
Buy the kale
This is, of course, the start of private
superfood chip production
.
Superfood because kale contains many vitamins and is also said to reduce cholesterol and blood lipid levels.
It is best to buy kale at the weekly market, if you have grown one yourself in the garden, you are naturally fine.
Alternatively, of course, the aisle to the supermarket is always open.
Make sure that the ends of the curly leaves are still nice and firm and not yet brownish-limp.
These chips consist of three ingredients
After the kale has been broken down into its individual leaves, washed and patted dry, you only need two additional ingredients:
sunflower oil
and
spices
.
There is no specific amount of sunflower oil.
Some like a little more, others use a little less.
Our author has experimented a lot and has to say: it tastes good with both variants.
So sometimes more, sometimes less.
There is only one warning: Do not drown the kale in oil!
Also delicious:
Hearty winter food: kale with potatoes, bacon and sausages.
The spices for kale chips
Now the personal creative department is required!
Because
there is no right or wrong
with
spices
.
Everyone can use the spices that appeal to them: perhaps in the Mediterranean direction with pizza spices?
Or rather Asia-style with cumin, coriander and turmeric?
A ready-to-use spice mix can also taste really good.
And finally, the chips can also be dried “naturally”, i.e. only moistened with oil.
The shelf life of these kale chips
Well, that's one thing: since we don't use any great additives, it is
advised to
consume it quickly
.
How long they really last cannot be said about that.
Why?
Because these crispy superfood chips always dissolve in thin air within a few minutes, if you know what is meant ...

Kale Chips Recipe: How to Prepare
First of all, the leaves must be cut off from the kale, washed and carefully patted dry on kitchen paper.
Note: The stalk of the individual leaves can, but does not have to be, removed.
Put a little olive oil over the kale in a large bowl - it shouldn't be drowned in it, play with the crowd yourself.
Now add the spices of your choice.
(Either use a mixture of individual spices such as salt, paprika powder etc. or a ready-made mixture of spices).
The same applies here as with oil: do not overdo it!
Preheat the oven to 130 degrees and place a baking sheet with parchment paper on the bottom rail.
Place the grid in the middle rail and place the leaves on top (not on top of each other!).
Who operates with the grill: use a Koncisform and work with indirect heat.
Let it dry for 30 minutes.
The oven must be slightly open for this.
The same applies to the grill lid.
You can use spaghetti tongs here.
After about 30 minutes, let the chips cool down briefly on kitchen paper and then consume.
