Kale Chip

Kale Chips




A new favorite snack of mine is Kale Chips. The TAM menu requests lots of Kale in many items. Since I don't have a juicer and a blender really isn't the same, I have begun making Kale Chips. I think they taste great and have a nice crunch.
I take bunches of Kale (super cheap at the grocery) cut them up, pour over a little olive oil (wish I had an oil spritzer) then add pepper and cayenne to the top. Bake at 300 for 20 minutes, then mix them around and cook for longer until they are all crunchy. I love the stalk part the most. They are a bit chewy but really have a nice flavor.
Just so you know, Kale is a huge source of Vitamin A, K, full of B-Carotine, B6 and Iron. It is also a big anti-oxydent and provides rich nutrition ingredients that offer protection from vitamin A deficiency, osteoporosis, iron deficiency anaemia, and believed to protect from cardiovascular diseases and, colon and prostate cancers.
 
PS. It does smell a little :)
