A glance around the internet would make one think I am the last person on earth to make kale chips. Well, I’ve never been accused of rushing to follow a fad! Eating these chips reminds me a lot of eating the leaves off of roasted Brussels sprouts. I like to eat the ones that fall off in the oven. Crunchy, salty and light. In fact, if I close my eyes I can’t really tell a difference.
More Addicting Than I Expected
I found kale chips to be rather addicting. They definitely have to be eaten almost immediately after coming out of the oven. That’s when they are at their crunchy best.
Also try my deep-fried chickpeas. Love kale? My sausage mushroom kale hash is fantastic!
