a healthy snack from America, originally with kale

Wash fresh kale from the market or garden. Then pluck the leaves from the stalk and spin them dry in a salad spinner. Place the leaves in a bowl. Crack the walnuts and chop them finely with a kitchen knife, almost floury. Then drizzle the olive oil and spices over the leaves and mix them in. Add a little lemon juice, the walnuts, and a little agave syrup. Spread the prepared leaves on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, as loosely as possible, so they can dry better. Preheat the oven to approximately 180°C (top/bottom heat) and place the baking sheet in the oven for approximately 10 minutes. Then remove the baking sheet, turn the leaves over, and let them dry for another 10 minutes. The oven door should be slightly open so the moisture can escape. It’s best to hold it slightly open with the handle of a wooden spoon wedged between them. When the leaves are quite crispy, they’re ready. This is a low-calorie snack from America that’s rich in vitamins and minerals. The original recipe is made with kale, which Americans have discovered as a healthy vegetable. Unfortunately, it’s a winter vegetable and can only be bought fresh for a short time.
