Don't Count Kale Out!

When you mention kale, a lot of people immediately think "health food" or "green smoothies". ;) Besides the traditional ways to enjoy this healthy, leafy treat, kale can be eaten as a chip!  That's right, Kale chips are easy to make, delicious and good for you!  Warning: kale chips are addictive and may require baking of repeated batches.

Seven Springs Farm has plenty of fresh kale for sale!  You may contact us directly or it is also available through Clemson Area Food Exchange (www.cafe.com) and Six Mile Farmer's Depot (Thursdays, Main St. Six Mile, 4-7pm).  


                     Kale Chips

1 bunch kale
1 tsp sea salt or seasoned salt for more flavor
1 Tbsp olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  You may line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with a cooking spray.

2. Wash and dry kale leaves well.  Tear or cut leaves off of the thick stems and tear into but size pieces.  

3. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. 

4.  Bake 10-15 minutes until leaf edges are browned and crispy. (Do not let them burn).
