I find this recipe very useful. I know kale is REALLY good for me, and I find it frequently in my farm share at this time of year. To tell you the truth, however, I have a little trouble forcing myself to eat much of it. It\u2019s just a bit too bitter, a bit too \u2026 kale-y.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roasting it with olive oil and salt (I love salt) tones down the flavor a bit and makes it fun to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The recipe (or a variant of it) was given to me several years ago by Margaret Fitzpatrick. Margaret lives in my hometown of Hawley, Massachusetts, and has owned a number of restaurants in our area over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Margaret calls the dish \u201cKale Chips,\u201d and I can see why; the pieces of kale are small and have a definite potato-chip-like crunch. I like the alliteration of \u201cCrispy Kale,\u201d however.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to eat this dish, by the way, is with your fingers\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kale<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

1 medium bunch kale
\n1-1\/2 tablespoons olive oil
\nsalt to taste (maybe start with 1\/2 to 3\/4 teaspoon and sprinkle on a bit more at the end if it\u2019s needed; I tend to over salt things so I\u2019m wary here)<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Wash and dry the kale thoroughly; then take out the ribs, and tear the leaves into pieces. (I aim for about 3 pieces per half leaf.)<\/span><\/p>\n

In a bowl combine the oil and the salt. Toss the kale pieces in this mixture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Place the lightly oiled kale pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet (or two if necessary).<\/span><\/p>\n

Bake until the kale gets dark and crispy (about 20 minutes), turning the kale pieces after 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serves 4.<\/span><\/p>\n
