We have been getting a lot of kale lately in our weekly CSA bag, much to the dismay of #1. I sauteed it one week with garlic and olive oil, which turned out pretty good, but did not impress #1. My second attempt was baked kale chips. I love them! #1, not so much. Oh well, at least they will get eaten.
Ingredients:
Kale - however much you have or want to make
Olive oil - I used a couple tablespoons for a big bunch
Sea salt - to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash kale and tear it into pieces about 2-3 inches big. Coat each piece with olive oil. I threw mine in a plastic baggie and tossed them in the oil.
Place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with the salt. Bake for ~ 20 minutes until crispy.

I would have no idea what to do with Kale...I'd probably throw it in a smoothie or soup! I wonder if you could add spices to flavor these chips to make them more popular?
ReplyDeleteI bet you could. Cumin, maybe! LOL
DeleteI think I'm with #1 on this one...
ReplyDeleteI guess they aren't for everyone. Oh well, at least one person in our household likes it.
Deleteoh how I love kale chips!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too. A new favorite.
Deletealso adore kale chips! i sprinkle mine with a little fresh lemon juice, a sprinkle of ground cumin, and a few chili flakes (of course, salt and pepper too)... they're great crumpled in scrambled eggs!
ReplyDeletethank you for taking the time to share with us at The Wednesday Fresh Foods Blog Hop - we hope to see you again this week with more incredible posts! xo, kristy
I like your idea of seasoning. I will try that if we get more.
DeleteI love kale chips, too but I make them in a dehydrator. You could dehydrate in the oven at a low setting. They have turned brown because 350* is way too hot.
ReplyDeleteA tasty way to season them comes from Sunny's Raw Kitchen (search for Crissy's goddess chips)- this is so good. My kids devour them. And they're great for anyone interested in a paleo diet.
That is a great tip. I didn't know to cook them lower. That would definitely make them look more appealing.
DeleteI'll check out the seasoning too.
