At first glance, this crunchy tangle of green gets a lot of quizzical looks. After one taste, those looks turn to smiles. This is a versatile recipe from my niece and kindred spirit Jill Garrick Pilger of Hamlet Organic Garden in Brookhaven, N.Y.
Ingredients
How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- Stack leaves, roll into cylinder and slice crosswise or chiffonade into strips ¼- to ½-inch in width.
- Transfer the strips to a bowl, add the olive oil and garlic, and toss with tongs. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to toss until strips are thoroughly coated with oil.
- Spread kale strips evenly across a large baking sheet. Transfer to preheated oven and bake until crispy, about 5 minutes. To prevent strips from burning, toss once or twice during baking.
