Snack time: Baked Kale Chips
I was first introduced to kale by my old roommate. The experience was less than satisfying :/ I tried it raw with a drizzle of lemon juice and I was NOT impressed to say the least. It wasn't until a colleague of mine brought it up a few months later that I remembered that kale existed. Except, this time she talked about how her daughter baked them in the oven for movie nights in place of chips and popcorn. She was addicted! I looked up recipes online and also played around with my own. I found that fresh kale with drizzled olive oil (sorry, coconut oil just doesn't work on this one), with sea salt and even black pepper does the trick. If I'm feeling fancy, I'll use a sprinkle of BBQ seasoning instead of sea salt. I'm not going to put a specific recipe up because it's all really up to your liking! There are plenty of recipes and suggestions online. What I will tell you, is that baking the kale on a lower temperature (Between 300 and 305 degrees) for a longer amount of time got me the best results. I've found recipes that prefer to have the kale in the oven for a shorter amount of time and at a higher temperature. Either way, this snack is delicious and pretty guilt-free :-p
