KALE

I am sure many of you have heard about this fantastic dark green vegetable, but how many have tried it?  This fabulous member of the cabbage family is rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and beta carotene (form of Vitamin A). For every 3 ounces, there is even 2 grams of fiber.  This "superfood" also has some powerful antioxidant properties which may help to prevent cancer.

I was inspired to try this recipe from a friend of mine, and I was blown away.  Try it, I think you will love it as well.  A hint from a cute little 4 year old I know, if you call these "green potato chips" they are even better! Enjoy!


Baked Kale Chips
  
* 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.
