Spinach or Kale crisps Reviews Date of last review 8 Tue February 7, 2012 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 9.6 supersize Description: I got this recipe from Francis Lam's column. I make it 2-3 times a week, we love it. I prefer the flavor of spinach over the kale. They turn out tissue paper thin, but give me that salty crunch that I miss. I love it with the smoked paprika the recipe says to sprinkle on spices after they have baked but I usually do it before. Ingredients: Fresh spinach leaves or kale, flat or curly kind. Olive oil. Salt. Smoked paprika or other spices How To Prepare: Preheat oven to 275. If using kale hold thick stem between two fingers and strip the leaf from the stem; if the stem is thick through the middle of the leaf, it's better to strip it so the leaf comes apart in two pieces. If using spinach do the same if the stem is thick. Baby spinach is fine as is. Toss the leaves with a splash of olive oil enough to just lightly coat the leaves. If using kale give th leaves a nice rub with your fingers to get the oil all over them. Season lightly with salt, as the leaves dehydrate they'll shrink so the chips will taste much saltier than when they go in. Lay leaves flat on a baking sheet, don't overlap them but they can be close to each other. Bake until they are dried, crisp and crackly with no chewiness left about 30 minutes for kale, 20 for spinach. Don't bake too long they will get brown and too intense in flavor. Once they are done you can lightly sprinkle with spices, store in an airtight container. Number of Servings: depends how much you make!

Cons: Oh my gosh these are so good! I used baby spinach and I cannot get over how fabulous this is. I think I used a wee too much EVOO because mine had to cook for about 30 minutes but it is so worth it! My new fave!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): quick and easy Cons: none I've tried using the kale and jicama before with bad results. The baby spinach was great. To me taste like the brown edges of a potato chip. I think I will try putting cinnamon and splenda on next time. Thanks for posting this.
