Recipe by Head Chef at the Field Kitchen, Jake Boyce

15 mins

Serves 2

What you'll need…

  • 200g curly kale
  • Salt & pepper for taste
  • Sprinkle of caster sugar
  • Enough vegtabel oil to fill half of your deep pan
Kale crisps working

The method

1

Prep and wash the kale, and remove the tough stalk. You can do this by pinching the stalks and tearing them apart.

2

Once washed, place the kale on a dry kitchen towel and press it dry. The kale must be dry before cooking. 

3

Now fill your pan halfway with olive oil, and heat the oil to 180 degrees. 

4

Once it reaches 180 degrees, turn the heat off. Then carefully place the prepped kale in the oil with little pieces at a time. Be careful at this point, as the oil may spit a little!

5

Fry them for about 3 mins, and carefully spoon them out of the oil and place on a plate with some kitchen roll so it absorbs the excess oil. 

6

Leave a few minutes to cool and go crispy, then season with salt, pepper and caster sugar.
