I found the following recipe in the current issue of Woman's World (May 27, 2013). I have not tried it yet, but I know they are the new craze. It is a great, tasty and healthy alternative to potato chips!
INGREDIENTS:
3 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tbs finely minced garlic
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
3 Tbs olive oil
1 lb kale, stems removed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Divide cheese, garlic, pepper flakes and oil between 2 large plastic food storage bags. Tear kale into bite-size pieces. Add to bags, seal and shake to coat. Spread in single layer on baking sheets. Bake 25-30 minutes or until kale is crisp, but not brown. Transfer to rack to cool.
Makes 4 - 6 cups.
I'm usually not a veggie person but I was reading a diet book recently and they suggested Kale smoothies as a way to lose weight. I have gotten to where I actually don't mind them AND I am losing weight. Since kale is my new friend, I will HAVE to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteKale is healthy in so many ways. Glad you like kale! It is definitely an acquired taste. It took me a while to get used to the taste (and I AM a veggie person). I first had to mix it in other greens in a salad. I still am chicken to use it in a smoothie! Let me know if you try this and how you like it!
DeleteWhat a fantastic recipe for Spicy Monterey-Style Kale Chips! They sound absolutely delicious and a great way to enjoy a healthy snack. As someone who embraces a vegan lifestyle india, I love finding creative ways to incorporate more greens into my diet. I can't wait to try this spicy twist!
