Baked Kale Chips by Lucy DelRey (Allrecipes.com)
Ingredients
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Directions
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from
the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly
dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle
with seasoning salt.
3. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
I got this Homemade macaroni and cheese recipe from the Heart and Stroke foundation and tried it yesterday. It uses a sweet potato and it was a bit hit with M and K.
And how about some Chocolate Carrot Cupcakes? This recipe is also from the Heart and Stroke foundation. It uses cocoa instead of chocolate, a neat trick to cut the fat without any of the taste. Also I've never made yogurt icing, it sounds like a good idea. I suspect it uses egg whites to be heart healthy, so if you are in a hurry and not watching your cholesterol, it's probably ok to use the complete eggs.

Baked kale chips certainly sound interesting (and healthy). The link wasn't working for me, so I'm going to try looking it up on allrecipes.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like the healthy mac & cheese?

Wow, on a cooking spree?
ReplyDeleteKristin I re-posted the recipe, thanks. I did like the healthy mac and cheese, it's worth a try, I think.
ReplyDeletePete, you may be right.
I enjoy kale, but do NOT like it baked into chips. The cats do, however; the one time I made it I left the kitchen with the cookie sheet sitting on the counter and came back to a substantially emptier sheet and green crumbs scattered on the floor!
ReplyDeletei'm intrigued by the kale recipe. what would you say the kale chips taste like? any comparison to another food you've eaten?
ReplyDeletemy daughter got me hooked on sweet potato fries. we buy bags of organic ones at kroger's and they are delicious and healthy!
I love kale and this sounds wonderful. My daughter made it with parmesan cheese also.
ReplyDeleteKathy that's too funny!
ReplyDeleteJulie, that's a hard question for me. It has a crunchy texture, like eating a crunchy salad with the flavour of the seasoned salt. Some people compare the taste to potato chips.
Kay, parmesan cheese sounds like a good idea.
