E v E R y t H i n g k a l E . . . E V E R Y T h I N G K A L E C h I P S . . . D E f I N I T E L Y ! I remember feeling intimidated about attempting kale chips for the first time. I had bought kale and made some sad looking attempts my first few tries. Now that I've got the time and temperature down (with the key being to have dry kale), I love making kale chips and usually devour them as they come off the tray. Lacinato Kale is so pretty and my favorite. They were definitely tasty and I was able to use the majority of the stems. To make kale chips, preheat the oven to 300F. Rinse and dry kale (with a paper towel or salad spinner) and chop into about 3 inch pieces - drizzle and massage a couple of tablespoons of olive oil on the kale. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet (and make sure the pieces are not overlapping or they won't crisp). Roast for 7 minutes, check, switch trays and flip over if desired and then stay close by for another 3-5 minutes until they are dry and crisp, but not brown. You can season with a wide variety of seasonings in your cabinet. Although a little salt and pepper will do, we like to get creative and sprinkle some Everything Bagel Seasoning and a little Nutritional Yeast, for flavorful surprise! Great way to get some greens and also satisfy a crunchy, salty craving today! Everything Kale...oh kale yeah! – Nicole Piazza E x C I T I N G N E W S f R O M T h E C L E A N P L A T E K I T C h E N !
