Default Kale

Does anyone have any new ways to prepare kale? I love it just boiled with an onion thrown in for flavor.

I searched for recipes but the only ones I could find had so many other ingredients in them that the kale was virtually nonexistent!

I did find one recipe that I tried and was very surprised to find that it was good! A really neat and different snack.

Here's the recipe:

1 bag Kale, chopped and washed
2 tsp. extra light virgin olive oil
Salt (Optional)
Parchment Paper
Large Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spin the kale in a salad spinner to remove all traces of moisture.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the kale out in an even layer.

Drizzle with olive oil and toss so it's all coated.

Place in preheated oven for 12-22 minutes. Check after 12 minutes. If it's not crispy yet return it to the oven and cook in increments of 2 minutes, checking to make sure it's not burning. If it burns it will taste bitter.

Once kale is crispy transfer to a paper towel. Sprinkle with sale to taste or just leave as is. Snack on it just like you would chips. Be careful.....the leaves are delicate and will crush easily.

It's really very good....if you like kale!
