Kale chips

Oh the joys of kale... full of so many good things for you and yet it can taste sooooooooo bad (and smell so bad)...especially if done wrong. Joe is being such a good sport because not only did i force him to eat a salad concoction of kale, beets and pumpkin seeds (which i may add was really good), but he's now smelling kale almost daily as i find new ways to incorporate this hearty, fabulous and plentiful vegetable.
I had read/watched this video on ways to make kale chips (a replacement for potato chips and even the "healthy" veggie chips) and it seemed soooooooooo easy i decided to try it myself. pretty much you tear up the kale, massage with olive oil, lemon juice and salt (and pepper in mine) and place in the oven for 20-40 minutes, depending on your crispy factor. Here is what i got.




This is definitely NOT what the cook online had made, but hey i'm an amateur and as i've said before...just learning! As much as i ohhhh'd and awwwww'd over how yummy the chips were, Joe wouldn't try one. The stink of healthy goodness was too much for him. Oh well, more for me!
