What do Mitch and Cameron have to do with this weekend's Delicious Idea?
Well, if you saw the Modern Family episode 'Two Monkeys and a Panda' a few weeks ago you might be able to guess what this week's recipe is about. It went something like this:
Mitch: "You'll never believe what the new broccoli is. Kale!"
Cam: "Kale? Kale's a garnish. It's not ready to anchor a meal!!"
Mitch: "I kno-o-o-w....!"
Cam: "Well, I guess we need to ADOPT (clap clap) a new attitude toward kale!"
(It's funnier in person .... seriously, watch it).
But back to Kale. A fantastic food that doesn't make chefs like me have to choose between healthy and tasty. As it's a bit tougher than other leaves, it's usually used in soups and stir fries rather than salads, but here's a great way to serve this nutrient-packed vegetable as a snack.
Roasted Kale
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Trim your kale (try folding in half first, and get rid of stalk)
Toss with a really good extra virgin olive oil and sea salt
Lay out on a cookie sheet and bake for about 7-10 minutes each side.
You'll know you're done when it goes a little brown and crispy.
GREAT alternative to chips and your body will love you for it.
Now back to Modern Family ......
