How to make healthy homegrown Kale chips | Cooking Your Garden Produce | Gardening Australia



Kale is an easy crop to grow in most parts of Australia. It likes a full sun position, or part shade in hot regions, and can handle mild frosts. Subscribe πŸ”” http://ab.co/GA-subscribe
There are lots of different kale cultivars to choose from. Hannah grows β€˜Curly’ kale for its sweetness and crunchy texture. She also grows them as a perennial by only harvesting the mature outer leaves and letting them develop a tall thick stem with newer leaves left untouched on top.

The leaves are super versatile, great for stir-fries, soups, salads and more. When you have a glut, kale chips are an easy and tasty snack to make so nothing goes to waste.

Ingredients:
– Kale leaves
– Olive oil

Method:
1. Wash kale well, aphids are often hiding it the curled bits!
2. Cut off the thick stems, pop them in the compost.
3. Break the leaves into bite size pieces.
4. Drizzle the leaves in olive oil.
5. Add your choice of flavourings, such as tamari, salt, pepper, crushed garlic or other herbs and spices.
6. Massage the leaves to ensure the oil and flavours coat them completely.
7. Put a single layer of kale pieces onto a baking tray. If they overlap too much they won’t get crispy.
8. Pop in the oven at 200 degrees. Do not leave unattended! They can burn easily so check after 5 minutes and then every minute after to take them out as soon as they are brown and crispy.

Featured Plants:
KALE β€˜CURLY’ – Brassica oleracea cv.

    I’ve been wanting to try kale chips for AGES!!
    I saw your β€œkale trees” in an old video and I’m trying to grow mine the same, but they’re still only babies!! Can’t wait for them to get big & make some kale chips!!

    Hey Hannah! I have some seeds of Tuscan Kale bursting beyond the growing medium and have been thinking about how to serve it up to doubting donnas in my family. Thank you so much for your ideas. I love your channel. Cheers!
