You break up normal lasagna sheet into pan of boiling water, once soft (8-10 mins), drain and lay them out on a baking tray spray with fry light add salt or other flavoring (paprika works well) and put into a pre-heated oven around 200 deg until they crisp up and brown usually 15-20 mins.


They are syn free crisps! on Green and extra easy....I love love love them. They keep in a airtight container for a good few days. I eat them on their own, with salsa or with a meal such as a big vegetable bean chili.

Give them a try

These sound amazing!!! I so can not wait to try them!!!! thanks. Where did u find the idea for these?? x

Hiya, old consultant (when I did SW about 4 years ago) told us about them and brought them to class, but you might have seen others told me that since these have become what they call a 'food abuse' as you can eat a lot more than you would if it was cooked as pasta - but it never effected me before so up to you if you want to try them, they are very yummy
