| Kale Chips Freshly Picked - The Rusted Garden |
Well you might have the tendency to over-plant your greens like I do. One great way to manage kale is to dry it out in the oven and make kale chips. It taste great assuming you like kale to start with and it makes a great snack. Kale is packed with calcium and other vitamins.
STEP ONE:
- Set your oven to 300 degrees
- Cover a few cookie trays with foil
- Tear you kale into 2-3 inch pieces
- Mix some salt and pepper together
- Get your olive oil or similar ready

The pictures tell the story. Make sure the kale is torn into 2-3 inch pieces. Larges pieces won't dry out uniformly.
STEP TWO:
- Tear the kale into 2-3 inch pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- You can add garlic or onion powder
- Lightly oil the kale so all pieces are covered

Once your tear up the kale, salt and pepper it to your taste. You can always add more later. Put in enough oil to lightly coat all the kale. Don't over oil it. If you like garlic and onion, add it in-in powder form.
STEP THREE:
- Lay it on a foil tray with some over lap
- Bake it for 15 minutes to start

STEP FIVE:
- Flip the kale again
- Bake it for 5 more minutes
- If it isn't all dried after 5 minutes, another 3 minutes will do
- Season them a bit more if needed

I've been reading a lot about kale chips. Can't wait to try it! I love the idea of having a healthy potato chip alternative!
ReplyDeleteIf you like kale they are great. My only tip is don't over season before you bake. Add to taste once they are baked and dried.
DeleteInteresting. Never had heard of them. It looks good enough for me to try it. My Kale is currently still very small. I should get around to try this once it becomes big
