Kale is an powerful source of vitamins A, C and K it also contains impressive amounts of Calcium. They’re terrific as a snack or even with cocktails. Roasting the leaves coaxes out a nutty, briny flavor that’s kind of addictive.

Ingredients

There are many varieties of Kale, the most common is Curley Kale, easiest to handle is Tuscan with a long crinkled leaf or you have Red Kale with curly frilly red leaves.

Although they may look slightly different you will prepare them the same way

  • Take 2 large bunches of kale leaves, rinsed, dried, ribs and stems removed then tear into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt or any seasonings you would like to add

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Toss kale with oil in large bowl.
  • Sprinkle with salt and spices.
  • Arrange leaves in single layer on 2 large baking sheets.
  • Bake until crisp, about 30 minutes for flat leaves and up to 33 minutes for wrinkled leaves.
  • Transfer leaves to rack to cool.

Personal touches

I used a lime infused olive oil and tossed in a little cumin and cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.  Just be careful not to over salt. You only need a smidgen (my mother’s term for tiny amount) of salt.

    I acquired more something totally new on this losing weight issue. One issue is a good nutrition is highly vital any time dieting. A huge reduction in fast foods, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and white flour products may be necessary. Possessing wastes parasites, and toxins may prevent targets for fat loss. While selected drugs in the short term solve the problem, the terrible side effects are usually not worth it, plus they never supply more than a momentary solution. This is a known idea that 95% of celebrity diets fail. Many thanks sharing your notions on this weblog.
