Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Curly kale
- 100 grams Spinach leaves
- 100 grams Swiss chard
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the greens thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Remove any tough stems from the kale, spinach, and Swiss chard, then tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the prepared greens to the bowl and toss well until all the leaves are evenly coated with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the greens in a single layer in the pan. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
Fry the greens for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally with a spatula to ensure they crisp up evenly and do not burn. The greens should become crispy and slightly browned.
Once cooked, remove the crispy greens from the pan and place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately as a crunchy side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
