Light, crunchy kale chips (kale crisps) baked low and slow with olive oil, smoked paprika and nutritional yeast for a savoury, cheesy flavour. About 60 calories a bowl, vegan, and the cure for a crisps craving.

A bowl has about 60 calories, 3g of protein and 3g of fibre. A typical 30g bag of crisps (chips) has around 150 to 160 calories, so these satisfy the same craving for something salty and crunchy for far fewer.
Why low and slow. At a high temperature, the thin edges of the leaves burn before the thicker middles have dried out. 150C (300F) dries the whole leaf evenly, so it shatters when you bite it. Drying the leaves completely before oiling matters just as much.
What kale brings. Kale is a leafy green from the cabbage family and a rich source of vitamin K. If you take a blood thinner such as warfarin, you do not have to avoid it, but keep the amount of vitamin K-rich greens you eat steady from week to week and speak to your doctor or pharmacist before making big changes.
Nutritional yeast. The yellow flakes give a savoury, cheesy flavour without any cheese, so the chips stay vegan. Many brands are fortified with vitamin B12, which is useful on a vegan diet; check the label.
For another crunchy savoury snack, try the smoky roasted chickpeas or the seed crackers.
