I've been wanting to make kale chips for quite some time. And when I had an over abundance of kale from our CSA, I knew it was due time. But I didn't want to make any old kale chips. I needed to kick them up a notch. And that's where steak sauce comes in. Who says it's only for red meat? Whoever did, is quite wrong. Because it's also a perfect match for kale chips. I may even go as far as saying that it's a genius idea on my part. But I won't gloat too much - it is getting late, after all.
Ingredients:
1 bunch of kale
salt and pepper, to taste
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
D.I.Y. Steak Sauce
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove stems from kale and tear into large pieces. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle steak sauce over kale (about 2-3 tablespoons) and toss to coat.
Line the kale on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until kale is crisp. Watch it carefully because they can go from crisp to burnt in a blink of an eye.
And then enjoy the best snack known to man. Well, maybe that's pushing it... or maybe it's not. Needless to say, these were darn tasty - so I suggest you try them soon =) If not the kale chips, the steak sauce itself is worth the time. I seriously put it on everything! Have a great rest of your Wednesday night guys!
