Oh, Pinterest. How I wanted to believe you.
And, leafy greens-we need to consume more of you but Kale is just not meant to be it, methinks. Maybe I did it wrong. Or, maybe it was too much garlic/salt on the “chips.”
Whatever it was-it just didn’t work for us. Another pin gone wrong.
The Pin: This lovely looking pin for Kale chips. Healthy and delicious is what I’ve heard around the web for ages now.
The Spin: Instead of plain salt I used a garlic sea salt because, garlic.
The Verdict: The cooking time in the recipe was WAY too long. It’s a good thing I kept checking every minute or so because these lovelies would have been blackened had I left them in for the posted time. Every oven IS different so if you try this at home-keep this in mind.
Also-the chips were SO bitter. Maybe we had bad/not fresh Kale. Maybe the garlic sea salt wasn’t a good fit for these leafy greens.
I’m ashamed to admit I ate only a handful (like, 5) and then pitched them.
Completed any pins lately? I’ve love to hear about them.
Okay this is interesting to me because I tried kale chips too and they were HORRIBLE. Way too salty for my taste. Thin. Bitter. I pitched mine too.
Although I don't do kale, I have had my share of disappointments in trying to recreate several gorgeously posed pinterest recipes. A caramel apple brownie that came out hard as a rock and a terribly bitter and way-too-salty fish dish are at the top of my "didn't work list." Of course that won't keep me from trying other recipes! 🙂
I burned them….twice, then gave up.
Would love to hear from someone who has successfully made kale chips. I bet Dining with Debbie has!
I tried these once. I actually liked them so did the kids.
I'm the same way with cauliflower mashed "potatoes." They were disgusting. And this was in a restaurant! I have to admit, I don't get kale. Everyone seems to think it's THE healthy food to eat. Is it high in something? Anyways, sorry this one was a bust.
Now I know more specifically what you share and use rationality and efficiency were brought.
