Kale Chip Crunch


This recipe comes from my school The Institute Of Integrative Nutrition. It is a great way to get your greens in and have some "crunch" at the same time. I just bought some kale at Whole Foods in Milford, Ct yesterday and it was divine. It must be a really great crop. It was actually somewhat sweet! It is from Grimsway Farms in California. Certified Organic. I am sure they supply Whole Foods around the country so run to go get some today. You can also add some fresh italian seasoning to give it some added flavor. Store in a baggy and enjoy throughout the day!

Kale Chips

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yields: 10 servings or more

Ingredients:
1 to 2 bunches kale
Olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Remove kale from stalk, leaving the greens in large pieces.
3. Place a little olive oil in a bowl, dip your fingers and rub a very light coat of oil over the kale.
4. Place kale on baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until it starts to turn a bit brown. Keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly.
5. Turn the kale over and bake with the other side up. Remove and serve.

Notes:

* Try different kinds of kale or collard greens.
* For added flavor sprinkle with a little salt or spice, such as curry or cumin after rubbing on olive oil.
