I actually love this leafy green, mostly braised and served cold with sesame seeds, sesame oil and Tamari, a'la Whole Foods. It's a dish I am more than happy to eat, and I know the benefits of Kale are truly stupendous. It really is a SuperFood. But today I made these amazing Kale Chips and now I am hooked. I want to eat the whole tray, and I don't want to share with Nico or Aaron. What a great way to get the family eating Kale. I think these are a great Potato Chip alternative or just a great midday, after nap snack. I think next batch I will try sprinkling some Brewer's Yeast on it, make it really "SUPER" Try this and let me know how it goes. By the way, I found the recipe at Smitten Kitchen, and I am really smittten. Amazing photos, recipes for days , and a really easy writing style. She is my new cooking muse.
