It took me a few months of walking past it in the grocery store to finally bite the bullet and buy it. I don't know why, it is a pretty budget friendly vegetable and if I didn't like it so what, I was out maybe $3.
Step 1. Buy Kale - check!
Step 2. Use Kale...
It might have sat in my refrigerator (hauting me from the top shelf everytime I opened the refrigerator) for quite some time before I actually took it out and prepped it for use. I thought to use it in my beloved smoothies in place of spinach, but have I mentioned how much I love spinach?! No, that wasn't going to happen.
Come on Pinterest...guide me. Ah! Of course, Kale chips. They would be seasoned, so even if I didn't like the taste of the kale, that would be slightly masked by the seasoning.
I washed the kale and pat it dry. Next, I lined a cookie sheet with foil (really saves the pan and I forget to do it as often as I should). I broke off the stem and tore some of the larger pieces into smaller pieces. Then a little spray of olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Into the oven at 375 for about 20-25 minutes (I really don't rely on the timer and rely more on my nose. The nose knows when it's done!)
Presto!
After snacking away on half the tray, I decided to save the rest to take to work the next day. And here comes the fail... I don't know if I didn't let them cool enough, but put them into a covered container. The next day I opened the container and found a soggy mess. Into the garbage they went. I might give them another try again and leave them out on the tray overnight or may just make smaller batches.
Here is the recipe I used (substituted Sea Salt for Season Salt) http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/baked-kale-chips.html
