Kale Chips

A few weeks ago Marlene made kale chips for her family one night. Disastrous. Apparently no one in the family liked them. At all. Days after that, our crush, Dana from House Tweaking, made them for her family and...they were a hit! I decided to jump on the kale bandwagon and make them for Mr. T and the Smurfs. It's as easy as this:

fresh kale
 
cut the stems off

wash and dry; tear into small pieces

drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt

bake at 300* for 20-30 minutes or until edges start to brown

Smurfette and Mr. T thought they were pretty ok...it's a vegetable chip after all. Brainy Smurf thought they were better than green bean chips, he is still not a fan of anything green, so I also made some homemade goodness...a.k.a. macaroni and cheese...to go along with it.

Brainy Smurf's favorite
We had kale chips twice this week and will be having them again! Kale is the latest and greatest super food. You can read all about it here.

Go green!

Interesting. You thought of making the chips well.

We have a link-up party going on - Tea Time Thursdays @ Kreative Korner. I would really appreciate if you'd link up some of your awesome posts there. Hope to see you at the party.
