Fennel Chips

Ingredients

• 1 fennel bulb or 1 bunch of kale
• 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1-2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• sea salt, to taste
• pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
• a few squeezes fresh lemon juice

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. If making fennel chips, trim fronds and cut into quarters through the core. Using a mandolin, slice very thin. If making kale chips, tear kale into pieces.
• Make sure vegetables are as dry as possible. Toss with a little olive oil in a large bowl. Just enough to lightly coat. Sprinkle some Parmesan and toss again. Spread onto a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top.
• Bake until crispy. Fennel can take up to an hour, and kale will take closer to 45 minutes. Check often and turn if necessary.
• Eat plain or serve with dip. Enjoy!
