Kale Chips
Ingredients:
1 bunch of fresh kale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or other mild seasonings (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
1. Wash the kale thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Ensure there is no excess water, as it can make the kale chips soggy.
2. Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large bowl, toss the torn kale leaves with olive oil until all the leaves are lightly coated. Use your hands or a spoon, whichever feels more comfortable.
4. If desired, add a sprinkle of salt and optional garlic powder or other seasonings. Keep the flavors mild to accommodate sensory sensitivities.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned kale leaves evenly on the baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the kale chips are crispy but not burnt. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures may vary.
Once the kale chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
These roasted kale chips are a healthy and delicious snack that many people enjoy, including those with autism and other developmental disabilities. They provide a satisfying crunch while delivering important nutrients. Remember to adjust seasonings and flavors to accommodate individual preferences and sensory sensitivities.
Note: As with any recipe, it's essential to consider any specific dietary restrictions or allergies an individual may have before serving this dish.
