I have often been tempted by pretty bags of kale chips available in grocery stores – because kale is good for you, right? Well it is – but every time I check the nutritional data I find it high in carbs. Why? Because they always add sugar. But kale chips really don’t need sugar – so I decided to make my own! They are SO good!

Trim the woody stems from the kale, then cut the remaining kale into small pieces and place into a large bowl. Add olive oil, smoked paprika and a little salt to the bowl and toss to mix.

Spread out the seasoned kale onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan over the top.

Place in a preheated oven for 6-8 minutes until the edges of the kale are starting to darken and go crispy. Remove from the oven and leave for another 5 minutes to allow it crisp up further.
