If you wish to make this dish at home;
1. Trim leaves from the kale ribs. Kale ribs are full of nutrients and although rather bitter, can be blended into a smoothie where the taste can be covered easily. If not, you can place the ribs in the green composting bin.
2. Massage olive oil or grapeseed oil into both sides of the leaves. Side note: our leaves were a little bit too oily and would have been better if we'd blotted before baking.
3. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and lemon juice on the leaves. We used Meyer lemons (currently available @ Costco). If you are feeling adventurous, try another spice. I wonder what curry powder might be like on these? Or garlic powder? Yum!
4. Place leaves flat on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the edges of the leaves are brownish. The leaves will be brittle and break easily.
Students were given kale today in case they wanted to make this recipe at home. Even if the kale looks a bit limp by the time it gets home, you can still use it for this recipe!
