Produce Boxes & Kale Chips

I haven't ordered a produce box in about a year.  I really liked it before, but I cancelled ours before we moved and just hadn't gotten around to signing up again.  I love the variety of vegetables you get, some of which I had never seen before.  For instance, today I got this awesome looking Green Romanesco.

My friend recently told me about her produce delivery service so I decided to give it a try again.  It's Farm Fresh to You.  I got my first box for $15 from Groupon and signed up for the Regular mixed (veggies and fruit) box @ $31.50 every other week.  So it's not the cheapest produce, but it's fresh, organic, delivered to your door, and you're supporting local farmers.

In today's box I also received 1 bunch of Dinosaur Kale.  I figured Dinosaur Kale Chips would be the perfect accompaniment for the kids Dinosaur chicken nuggets lunch. 

Guess what... They liked the kale more than the nuggets.  Anytime you have kids asking for more kale that's a good thing!
I've made kale chips before, but not in a while.  So here is my process:

 

Rinse and dry the kale. By the way, you can use any kind of kale, doesn't have to be dinosaur.
Cut off the stems.  I also cut out the middle vein.  And chop it to chip size.

Toss the kale with oil and seasonings of your choice.
Today I used olive oil with garlic salt and lemon pepper.  In the past I've done different combos using kosher salt, pepper, chili flakes, lemon....  But I like to save the lemon for last.
Make sure the oil is evenly distributed amongst the kale.

Spread it on a baking sheet

Bake at 400 for 10 mins.  Until it's crispy.  Different varieties of kale may take different amount of time.

Ready for the best part?!

Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and freshly squeezed lemon.  (I do this for pretty much any vegetables I roast.)  This is what makes them melt-in-your-mouth fantastic!

Enjoy! *Warning: They go fast!*
