kale--i hardly knew thee

listen to me

i am a sucker for anything crunchy

so when i saw an episode

of top chef masters

and one of them

made crispy kale

i thought to myself

i might like that

and boy did i

especially after i drizzled it with truffle oil

and sprinkled it with a bit of sea salt

here's a secret

i took it to the movies

and crunched away with the best of em'

listen to me

you have to try this

Crunchy Kale
(printable recipe)

1 bunch kale--washed and dried

olive oil

sea salt

truffle oil

remove the stems of the kale and cut the leaves into nice size pieces (like potato chips). place on a lightly oiled  sheet pan.  drizzle just a bit of oil on top...just a little bit. sprinkle with sea salt.  place in a 250 oven and bake for about 40 minutes. check periodically to see how it is crisping up.  once crisped, remove from oven and  drizzle with truffle oil.  alternatively, you can replace the sea salt with truffle salt.  who am i kidding---this is good even if you don't have truffle oil.
