Baby Kale Chips

Baby Kale Chips

A few weeks ago, we made kale chips with the big lacinato kale leaves. Here's that recipe. This week, we got more bags of the "Powerhouse Kale Mix," which consists of a variety of baby kale leaves. Baby kale leaves also make delicious chips. As you can see from the pictures above, the kale shrinks by more than half while in the oven. The resulting baby kale chip is parchment thin and translucent. Here's the recipe, from the blog "The Hunger Struck":

Ingredients:

A small bag of fresh mixed baby kales

olive oil

fleur de sel

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees

Wash your kales under cold water and make sure to dry thoroughly. I use a salad spinner to get them quite dry and them let then sit on a paper towel for a while until there is not a drop of water on them.

In a bowl toss the kale in a little olive oil and then arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Bake for 25 minutes or until completely crisp.

Serve immediately.
