The Newest Vegetable of My Dreams

Per usual, I let Fresh Direct take the reins with my in season vegetables and this time I was NOT disappointed. I didn't even get a chance to take my own picture of my Tuscan Kale chips as I ate them so fast there simply wasn't time.


Ingredients:

  • 12 large Tuscan kale leaves, rinsed, dried, cut lengthwise in half, center ribs and stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil


Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Toss kale with oil in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange leaves in single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 30 minutes for flat leaves and up to 33 minutes for wrinkled leaves. Transfer leaves to rack to cool.


I actually baked mine a little hotter, like 400, for about 20-25 minutes, (and I added S&P, duh). They were perhaps a little too crispy and kept crumbling all over me and the sofa but the flavor more than made up for it. I also dipped them in sour cream. Amazing. Would be a great hors d'ouevre.
