Other options at the CSA included lettuce, swiss chard, easter egg radishes, broccoli, and kohlrabi. What the heck is kohlrabi? I am hoping it will be around in 2 weeks so that I can try it out. Next week, I will sadly (ok, maybe not so sadly!) be on vacation, so there will be no CSA pick up to blog about.
Tonight, the kale was turned into kale chips, one of our go-to recipes. It's very simple and quick....it takes longer to make the kale chips than to eat them. They always seem to disappear approximately 30 seconds after they come out of the oven.
Kale Chips
Ingredients:
- kale
- olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 ºF. Wash and dry the kale thoroughly. If using full bunches of kale, tear or chop the kale into smaller pieces, making sure to remove the stems completely.
2. Place kale on a baking sheet. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle with olive oil. Mix until kale is evenly coated.
3. Bake kale in oven for 20-30 minutes, until crispy.
This recipe is very simple and requires only a few ingredients that are staples in most kitchens. It meets the requirements of an easy meal! Kale chips can be served with anything - burgers, baked chicken, soup, or by themselves. It's an easy, delicious, and healthy snack, too. Kale chips don't store very well...but they also seem to get eaten very quickly, so storage shouldn't be a huge problem. Just eat them all, you know you want to!
