Salted Olive Crisps

Salted Olive Crisps

Salted Olive Crisps

Salted olive crisps are my new favourite snack.  If you love olives, almonds, salt and pepper, then you’ll love these too.

This recipe is by David Lebovitz, a professional cook and baker living in Paris.  In his latest cookbook, My Paris Kitchen, he mixes in wonderful stories about cooking in Paris.  His recipes and instructions were very well written, detailed and easy to follow.  I believe this is why the recipes that I have tried so far were so successful.

For this recipe, you will need one large bowl, a loaf pan and a baking sheet.

Whisk flour, sugar, thyme, salt, baking soda and black pepper together in a large bowl.  Stir in buttermilk.  Fold in almonds and olives.  Pour the batter into a parchment lined loaf pan.  Bake for 30 minutes.

Salted Olive LoafRemove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Salted Olive LoafSlice the salted olive loaf into the thinnest slices you can cut with your bread knife.  As you can see, my bread knife was not the best.  The loaf crumbled slightly.

Salted Olive LoafLay the slices in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for another 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until both sides are golden brown.  Let cool on a wire rack.

Just a little trivia:  Is an olive a fruit or a vegetable?

Had to think about this one, didn’t you?

Are you sure?

An olive is the fruit of an olive tree.  If you answered correctly then congrats to you!  Just like a tomato, it’s a fruit but it’s treated like a vegetable.  ha!  I asked 3 people and they all guessed vegetable.
