Have you seen these delectable crunchy little bits making a splash in the blogosphere lately? After seeing them about a gazillion times, I decided to give them a try to see what all the hubbub was about. I'm here to tell you, they live up to their reputation! Totally addictive - they're delicately crunchy, taste ever so slightly of broccoli, and nutritionally speaking, they're a good source of Protein, Vitamin E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Calcium, Potassium, Copper, and Manganese.
Inexpensive too - a bunch of kale only costs $1-2. Kale just so happens to be in season right now, so check your local farmer's market for the freshest selection.
Start by washing and drying your Kale. I like the curly leaf varieties. Remove the soft portions of the leaf from their stems and rip them into bite size pieces.
Place on a large sheet pan and mist with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with Kosher salt or sea salt. Roast in a 350F oven for 10-15 minutes until the edges start to brown. Cool and enjoy!
