I have been hearing about Kale chips on the Food Network for many a moon now. The general thought it that it is a nice healthy alternative to potato chips. What is not to like about that? Read on.
Start with a bunch of fresh kale.
It needs to be de-stemmed. Is that a word?
Rinse it well and then dry as thoroughly as possible. I love salad spinners, and since there are just two of us, I use the smaller version. It spins out so much water.
Pat it dry with paper towels.
In the end, the kale was mostly crispy, a few pieces were less so. Maybe I had a little too much EVOO. But it definitely had a nice texture. My problem was that I didn't really taste much more than EVOO and salt. Which is quite delicious, but really not what I was going for. The kale actually had little flavor. I guess I just rather skip the potato chips!
I have heard of kale chips too, but reading your post was the first time I wanted to actually try them. They look like they must still be very good for you (such a dark green), and I have no problem tasting only olive oil and salt! Thanks for the interesting idea!
