I called this Crispy "Seaweed" but it actually is crispy kale but reminded of the fried seaweed you can order at a Chinese restaurant. I never thought of making something similar at home but was inspired by Junia and Rebecca to try this out. I wanted to add my own little touch to this simple recipe and came up with a Spicy Peanut Garnish to sprinkle over the crispy kale. This quick snack tasted great!! I will definitely be making this again... and again! The garnish makes quite a lot, so it depends how much you would like to sprinkle on but any leftovers just save for the next time you make some crispy "seaweed".
Recipe
Inspired by Mis Pensamientos
Ingredients:
200g Sliced Curly Kale
3tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea Salt, to taste
Spicy Peanut Garnish:
1/3 cup Roasted Peanuts
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1tsp Dried Chopped Garlic
1tsp Dried Red Chilli Flakes
Splash of Toasted Sesame Oil
Steps:
- PREHEAT the oven to 375F/190C.
- CUT the washed and dried kale into evenly bite size pieces. Get rid of any thick stalks.
- MASSAGE the olive oil all over the kale and spread evenly onto two baking sheets. Sprinkle over a little salt.
- BAKE for 10 minutes then carefully mix the kale up a little bit and place back in oven for about 5 minutes.
- USING a mini chopper, place in all the ingredients of the spicy peanut garnish and blitz until it is a crumbly texture.
- LET the kale cool on the baking sheets and then place into a small serving bowl.
- SPRINKLE the spicy peanut garnish over the kale.
- ENJOY!
