Okay... I'm not sure how it's happened, but now we're two for two for me finding new recipes for veggies I did not originally care for! SUCH an awesome feeling!! This time it hasn't been such a long hatred... but last week we got Kale in our weekly food box.
I've read SOO many great things about Kale. My naturopath and acupuncturist have both told me to eat as much of it as possible... it's loaded with folic acid, and is a great super food for women, especially women trying to conceive. After not being so pleased with my first recipe of cooking Kale, when we got it again in the food box so I scoured the internet for recipes and found a DELICIOUS side dish or even afternoon snack. Kale Chips!!
Here's the recipe and some pics. :) Enjoy!
Ingredients
Kale - as much as you want.
Few drops of lemon juice
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of sea salt (Highly recommend the sea salt, don't sub table salt... the sea salt crusts in the most wonderful way and tastes like the ocean...)
Directions
Break stems off of Kale - place in large bowl Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. - Kale should still look dry. Toss a bit. Rub each Kale leaf individually to spread oil and lemon juice and lay on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a few granules of sea salt on each leaf Bake at 250 F, for 30 min. Flip (Carefully, they'll be crispy and flaky) Bake for additional 10 minutes. I just had a full plate and my mouth is watering typing this out. Perfect healthy option to a salty craving!! YUM!
Dinner... and the reason my plate has so much less kale is that I already had 4 pieces while I was cooking the chicken :) Enjoy!
