Curly Kale Chips
To many who are new to the world of kale, quickly roasting the dark leafy greens to make “chips” is a good introduction to it. Roasting kale– as with most vegetables– heightens the natural sweetness of the veggie; the crunch that roasting them imparts also makes this a perfect snack for any time of day. Incidentally, massaging the kale as recommended in this recipe is a useful step in nearly any kale recipe, as it softens the leaves and can remove some of the bitterness. After roasting, you can sprinkle with a little nutritional yeast to give these a vegan “cheesy” flavor and add extra protein, fiber, and B vitamins.
