We were having kale for dinner last night, but we bought a bit too much for just the two of us. So while Mr TBTAM sautéed some up with garlic using his now-famous recipe, I took the rest and made kale chips for snacking. It was all we could do not to eat them all before dinner.
BAKED KALE CHIPS
This recipe is modified from one I found in the Beard Foundation Newsletter.
- Olive oil (1 tbsp per large bunch of kale -you barely need any oil)
- 1 large bunch of kale, rinsed and pat dry, leaves cut away from stalks and torn into large bite size pieces
- Sea salt
- Pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit. Put about a tbsp of olive oil in a large bowl, then add kale and rub with the olive oil so that both sides are coated. Season with salt and pepper. Place kale on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until leaves just start to brown. Turn and bake another 3-5 mins. Be careful, they burn quickly. Remove from oven, let cool and eat. Or store in an airtight container for later snacking.
