Roasted Kale is Healthful and Tasteful

The texture of potato chips and healthfulness of fresh kale? Yes, it is possible. And easy.

There is almost no food more nutrient packed and healthy for you as kale. This powerhouse of a leafy greens is high in fiber; high in calcium; rich in antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K; it’s a good source of key minerals; and rich in phytonutrients.

That’s all great, but healthFUL often means tasteLESS.

Not this time.

This recipe is one of my favorites because it’s extraordinarily simple, the texture of the roasted kale is very crunchy, and it requires almost no added products to the kale. The roasting process brings out the natural flavors and takes away much of the natural bitterness.  Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself.
