So easy! So tasty and sooo good for you! High in fiber, Vitamins A, C, K, calcium and iron, filled with antioxidants, great for your heart and no fat! duh! Now why wouldn’t you want to get this into you? Asides from sticking a few leafy leaves into your smoothies, my favourite way to eat Kale is ‘chips’!
Now, I generally tend to make a serving or two rather than the whole bunch. Since we need to bake them lightly, they do shrink down, which means you’ll get about half or less of what you started with! Go organic if you can, grow your own – even better.
How to make ’em:
3-5 leaves per person/ serve
Rinse the leaves well and pat dry.
Stick in a small roasting pan or dish, and add about half a tsp of coc0nut oil (i prefer coconut, but any type works).
Give the leaves a good rub to spread the oil over them.
Sprinkle with a good crack of pepper and crack a smidge of sea salt.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees (celsius) for about 5-10 minutes. I find sometimes it’s quicker depending on the kale, so keep an eye on it!
It’s ready when it’s dark and crunchy looking – but not burnt to a crisp.
Taste is amazing, a melt/dissolve in your mouth sort of thing! Finger licking good, and it’s got the boyfriend’s seal of approval.
