Yesterday I made kale chips and basically ate the entire thing by myself. You can think whatever you want, but I am a snacker and I'm always looking for something to munch on. I also wanted to introduce it to my nephew who is fuzzy about everything green on his plate. First I asked him if he wanted chips and a big smile came over his face, but after he saw that they were green I couldn't get him to try it. I have made it before for my little one and she also refused to try anything green, but hey, she is drinking orange juice with broccoli rabb most mornings, so I am not going to force the issue. So a few people asked about kale chips and I wanted to show them that it is easy to make and a great snack packed with vitamin K, vitamin C and beta carotene. I truly find them delicious but don't take my word, try them yourself.
Ingredients:
Kale (not sure about the measurements on this, I probably used 5 or 6 leaves of kale)
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/4 tsp Sea salt - use your own judgement
Instructions:
Then wash it and pat it down with a paper towel
Put into a Ziploc bag and add 1 tablespoon of oil to coat and sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Toss around in the bag so that the oil and salt covers the entire greens
Spread the kale in a baking pan in a single file
Bake on 400 degree oven for about 10 to 15 mins until the ends of the greens turn crispy.
Keep a close eye on this, because they bake very quickly and you don't want to burn them. If your oven is very hot bake at 350 for 5 to 10 minutes.
