We went to the Organic Market the other day and I picked up this beautiful bunch of kale for $2.00 (i wish a would have taken a picture of it all bunched up). I decided to make kale chips from it and they turned out fantastic! What a wonderful way to get one of the most nutritious greens into little kiddies. Kale is rich in vitamin A, C and K plus is an important part of the cruciferous vegetable group that aids in fighting cancer cells, esp. breast and prostate.
I simply washed the kale and broke it up into smaller pieces, getting rid of the heavy stalks. I put all the small pieces in a big mixing bowl and tossed with a little olive oil and sea salt. I also rubbed the olive oil and salt into the kale softening it up a little. I then baked them in the oven at 325F and 10 minutes later perfectly crispy chips came out!
just a small warning: if your teeth are anything like mine (velcro-like!) have some dental floss on hand…..
