Ingredients
- A bowl full of young nettle leaves
- 2 tablespoons oil of your choice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Wash and dry the nettles, stripping the leaves from any stem.
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a large bowl. Toss in your leaves, so they get a good coating.
- Place the nettles on a baking sheet in a single layer. Note the leaves will still sting at this stage so take care and DON’T be tempted to try one yet! (Cooking the leaves will denature the sting).
- Bake in a low oven at around 130C until they crisp up. How long the nettle crisps take will depend on how much moisture is in the leaves.
- The nettle crisps shown below took about 25 minutes, and I turned them over once during that time.
- Pop the nettle chips in a bowl and tuck in.
