kale postscript

Now that you have half a bag of kale in your fridge, this is a good time to try another super trendy superfood snack. Kale chips are on par with black bean brownies. It feels indulgent and is loaded with nutrients.


Again, in the food blog world, I'm way behind on this one. But I'm glad I jumped on the bandwagon. After a few minutes in the oven, and with a healthy sprinkling of salt, these leaves are light and crispy and frankly hard to stop eating. So go indulge in some kale already.

If you'd prefer a sweeter and less leafy snack, try a kale smoothie. I haven't yet, but it's on the list. Maybe after the snow melts.

Kale Chips

3 handfuls of kale, cleaned, dried, stems removed
Drizzle of olive oil
Sprinkle of salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss kale leaves with a bit of olive oil. Lay in one layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crispy.


With love.
