Gluten Free Kale Chips With Parmesan Food

GLUTEN-FREE KALE CHIPS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Wash and thoroughly dry kale pieces. Place in large bowl; set aside.
• In small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, pepper flakes, oregano and salt. Spray kale leaves with short bursts of cooking spray, tossing and spraying until lightly coated. Sprinkle with cheese mixture; toss to combine.
• Place kale in single layer on ungreased cookie sheet. (You may need to use 2 cookie sheets). Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time 12 to 15 minutes or until crisp. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

PARMESAN PEPPER CURLY KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Line rimmed sheet pans with parchment or nonstick foil.
• Cut out and discard stems and center ribs from kale. Aim for 32 cups of leaves (use a 1- or 2-quart glass measure and pack leaves without crushing them). Wash leaves and dry well.
• Transfer half of kale to a large bowl. Toss with half of oil, rubbing leaves to make sure they are well coated, then toss with half of parmesan, pepper, and salt. Once the first half is in the oven, repeat with the other half of the kale.
• Working in batches, spread leaves in a single layer on lined sheet pans and bake, switching positions of sheets halfway through, until crisp, about 25 minutes. Transfer crisps with a metal spatula to baking sheets or platters to cool. Reuse parchment or foil for successive batches.

PARMESAN KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• With a sharp knife, remove and discard the hard rib from the center of each leaf, leaving the leaves as intact as possible. Place them on the sheet pans, drizzle or brush them with olive oil, and toss to coat lightly. Sprinkle generously with salt and bake for 10 minutes, until crispy. Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese and bake for another 5 minutes. Cool and serve.
