especially on a day that was really stressful and you just might not care.
But then- there are other days when you can take something super healthy and
make it similar to a not as healthy snack food simply by baking something.
I've been seeing Kale chips on Pinterest, on other food blogs and after recently seeing
them at a grocery store for $6.99 for a little clear container of it...
I had to just try making it myself.
I bought one bunch of Kale from H-mart the local Korean/Asian supermarket.
All food stores will carry Kale.
I washed it and because the leafy vegetable is thicker and tougher than lettuce- If you give it a
quick shake in the sink... not too much water gets absorbed into it's super healthy leaves.
Simply trim the really thick stems off with a paring knife or clean kitchen scissors.
Once you've trimmed all the stems, you can trim the leaf itself into maybe 3-4 pieces per large leaf.
Once all the leaves are cut into pieces (don't cut them too small- they shrink!)
--you want to rub olive oil all over them. (I always have those clear disposable gloves on hand)
Once they are super shiny from their olive oil polish, sprinkle some salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Bake it in the oven on 350 for about 20-30 minutes or basically until they are dry chips.
When you grab one with your tongs.... you want them to be stiff like chips.
That's pretty much it, kale is super healthy and baking them is a tasty way to enjoy them!
Eat them as a snack while watching tv, catching up on a good book or put them into
a ziplock bag and snack on them at work it you are able to!
