Kale Chips

I have borrowed that image from Honest Fare, whose recipe for this snack will work as well as any. I kept seeing kale chips touted all over the internet as some kind of miraculously delicious and healthy replacement for potato chips. So today we tried them. They are easy to make and not half bad. The trick is to bake them long enough -- I prefer mine a little browner around the edges than the ones in the photo. You don't want any plain old leafy texture left. But you don't want to burn them either because then they just taste... burnt. You might want to experiment. I just used olive oil, salt, and pepper -- next time I might try paprika and cayenne. Or maybe garlic or onion salt. Sylvie seemed to like them. Luke made up his mind to dislike them as soon as he saw them -- he took one bite and spat it out. But I shall persist. And I myself have eaten several full leaves of kale, which has to be a good thing, right?

This looks like an excellent way to assuage my recent vegetable guilt. Harper is turning into one of those kids who eats nothing but nuggets and blueberries and cheese. We need help! We need... kale chips???

I can get Moira to eat almost anything but even she won't touch kale chips. I, on the other hand, love them. The only way Moira & the Mister will consume kale is if it is in a smoothie.
