When life gives you kale, make chips!
This is our first year having a CSA. We get an email on Monday about what will be in our share for the week. Mondays have started feeling like Christmas morning for me. I can't wait for the email to come to my inbox to see what lovely goodies we will get. :) We have a medium share, but at times we have a bit more than the two of us can eat before the veggies go bad. We got tuscan kale a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure what to make with it so I googled tuscan kale. Tuscan kale chips came up. I was very intrigued by veggie chips. I read the recipe and it was super simple. I made the chips asap.
After reading some reviews on Epicurious about the spices, I decided to add garlic salt to the kale instead of just regular salt. It was a good choice. They were supper yummy! I almost felt like I was eating real (potato) chips, except these were very thin and green. :)
Tuscan Kale Chips
12 large Tuscan Kale leaves, rinsed, dried, cut lengthwise in half, center ribs and stems removed (I cut mine into bite size pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Toss kale with oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange leaves in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 30 minutes for flat leaves and up to 33 minutes for wrinkled leaves. Transfer leaves to rack to cool.

We missed out on a CSA this year but I have my name on a list for next year and I can't wait, all of my blogger friends have such wonderful looking produce and your kale chips look perfect, kale is so nutritious, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cassie! I definitely recommend getting involved in a CSA.
ReplyDeletei recently got into kale in the past few years since amber moved back and put it in her soups. i'm excited to try (or rather, make amber try since i am likely to burn the house down) a new way of eating kale! :o)
