Veggie on the block today- Kale.  I have oodles of Kale fresh from my CSA pickup this morning.  

So today, I’m making these Kale Chips via a simple recipe with olive oil and salt via SmittenKitchen.com.

Although, I am a much bigger fan of Swiss Chard, today I am making Kale Chips. My refrigerator is overflowing with this nutritious vegetable.  And although a while ago I wrote about how I don’t really love Kale (I know, I know…I’m the Dietitian that doesn’t love this green veggie,) I am giving Kale another chance because Kale is loaded with Vitamins such as  K, A, C, managese, fiber, iron, calcium and more!

Anyway, if these chips are not  a hit, I will move on to adding some to soup.  Or maybe I could eat these chips with some soup or some dip.  I’ll keep you posted on my Kale adventures.

I also still have a little bit of Chard growing in my garden.  It’s amazing!  I cut it back and it keeps regrowing- love that hardy plant!  I plan to try to make swiss Chard Chips as well- will let you know how that experiment goes.  I would love to replace the recent “Kale trend” with Swiss Chard!  It’s just such a beautiful leafy green with it’s red stems.

To make the Kale chips, I simply washed and dried this curly Kale and brushed olive oil and salt on the leaves- simple recipe.  Then, just bake  them in the oven for… 20-30 minutes until Crisp at 300 degrees.

That’s it!  Now, to try them!

Ps.  If you have any Kale Recipes- please leave a comment with a link.  I’d love to try them!
