Kale Chips

I picked some end of summer kale earlier this week.  The leaves were bright green, curly and tight.  I didn’t have enough to make a stew, or soup, and quite frankly, I didn’t want to ruin the sweet taste of the fresh leaves.

So a friend suggested that I make Kale Chips.  A little oil, salt and pepper, 15 minutes in the oven.

Oh yeah, baby.  These were good.  We’ll be having them again.

Update:  Joy Bauer, nutritionist, made kale chips on a recent Today Show segment. During the segment she gave junk food a healthy make-over and shared 5 healthy choice recipes, including her take on kale chips. Enjoy!
