Ingredients
- 4 stalks kale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Remove the stems from the kale stalks and place the leaves in a medium mixing bowl. Roughly tear the leaves into smaller pieces.
- Pour the coconut oil over the leaves and massage it into them.
- Place the leaves onto the baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until crispy. Bake for longer if they have not yet crisped. You don't want them brown though, just firm.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before giving the treat.
