Kale Chips with Truffle Salt

Kale Chips with Truffle SaltOn a recent trip I was reading one of those celebrity magazines and came across an interview with Kristen Bell. They asked what her diet secret was and she proclaimed kale chips! I am still trying to lose those final pregnancy pounds and I thought I would give it a shot.
As I searched around for recipes I noticed that almost every food blog has a post on kale chips. Apparently, I am way behind on this phenomenon. In a quest to add my own twist to this delectable green treat I added a dash of truffle salt. I found them delicious and could have eaten the whole batch that night.
The next day I wish I had since they did not keep well, even in a sealed Tupperware container. I learned my lesson though and will be sure to devour the next batch right out of the oven. They were very simple to make, give them a try whether you are on a diet or not!

Recipe
- 1 bunch kale
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of truffle salt (approx. 1/8-1/4 teaspoon)
Bake that kale!Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Remove tough stems from kale, then wash leaves and dry well. If the leaves are large cut or tear into smaller pieces.
Lightly toss leaves with olive oil then place on a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake in oven until crisp, about 10-12 minutes. While kale chips are still warm sprinkle with truffle salt. Let cool slightly then enjoy!

It's funny that you post this now. I am one of the few blogs that doesn't have a post on kale chips, although I've been meaning to try them forever. My daughter saw some on tv the other day and requested I make them. Now I guess I need to go invest in some truffle salt! :-)
once had spinach that was flash fried in extremely hot oil- i could eat that 3 meals a day and i don't even like spinach. so i think i will expand my horizons and try this- it's easy enough!
