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
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the greens thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Step 2
Remove any tough stems from the kale, spinach, and Swiss chard, then tear or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the prepared greens to the bowl and toss well until all the leaves are evenly coated with the olive oil and spice mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the crispy greens from the pan and place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a crunchy side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy!
