Crunchy, smokey and salty food is addictive. Who can resist after a few nibbles? I know kids can’t. I’ve seen them in the snack food isles at the supermarket, begging for chips.
I wouldn’t be suprised if these tasty Kale Chips and Cauliflower Popcorn don’t elicit the exact same respnse. I polished both off in under 5 minutes!
Parmesan Kale Chips and Pizza flavoured Cauli-Pop
- 1 bunch kale (either curly or flat), cut into chip sized pieces
- 1/2 head of cauliflower cut into popcorn size peices
- 10g finely grated fresh parmesan cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregan0
- 1 teaspoon smokey paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- a big pinch salt
- a splash of olive oil
- extra Parmesan, grated (optional)
Preheat your oven to 160ºC/320ºF
Combine the cheese, herbs, spices and salt in a small bowl.
Place the cauliflower in one bowl along with half the cheesy spice mix and toss to coat.
Combine the Kale, olive oil and cheesy spice mix and massage the leaves.
Place each mixture on a seperate baking sheet making sure nothing is overlapping.
Bake the kale chips for about 15 minutes or until crisp.
Bake the caulflower for about 30 minutes.
For crunchier pop-corn cook the cauliflower at your oven’s lowest temperature for 8 hr’s with the door slightly ajar.
Mish, I think this will not go down well. I shall try and put on a ‘wow, yum!’ face, but … !
They have asked for the lights two days in a row!
