Kale is all the rage these days with health-conscious folks. It’s no wonder why — Kale is a great source of dietary fiber, protein, iron and a whole slew of vitamins.
This recipe can be the beginning of your love affair with this leafy green. It has the satisfying crunch of potato chips and the bitterness cooks out in the oven.
You won’t be using the stems in this recipe, but that doesn’t mean you should mindlessly throw them in your compost. You can chop them up and put them in a soup, braise them with lentils, use them as skewers and even pickle them. lots of fiber so don’t waste them.
An important tip when cooking any type of green: don’t over salt! The kale will cook down significantly, and as I like to say, once you put it in, you can’t take it out.
