Baked Crisp Kale Chips 羽衣甘藍葉脆片

I am not a person who love to eat junks. My father always against it when I was a kid. But, grandma would buy some beautiful delicate Japanese imported finger food, such as hardy crunch cookies or golden yellow honey candy. These has been very impressive in my mind till today !!! Most of cookies would keep on top of kitchen cabinet. Candies would would be hides in my father's medicine cabinet by my father. But nor my little brother or me would ever think about to sneak in and get some. Kids live in the small town of Bei-Gang. We have so much yummy food from street venders. There are traditional snacks like xxxxx with green beans or red beans filling after breakfast. Don't ever mention the afternoon treats or midnight snacks. Lots of people have this same eating habits, and you don't really see people who get overweighted. I always feel the traditional handmade food is very easy to please people. A bowl of simple noodle soup with few thin slices of dried bean curd and braised seaweed as a side dish or a small bowl of lu-tho-fan( braised ground pork in savor soy sauce. ) with fresh fish sticky soup. These simple food could keep me happy for a long while.

Now, people got too many processed food which made by machine or from the fridge. I'm not saying these are all bad, but because of easy to get and storage, so people get addicted to it. The most issues is this food either high in sugar or salt content, and the more you eat the higher calories you get and never fill me up.

I'm like my grandma, I would buy this snacks once for a while, as a special treat. But, if you feed me junks when I was outside. I would be very easy to loose myself. My husband always knows never feed me well is the top reason to keep me happy. Otherwise I would be just like typhoon arrived. No one want to see that happening. Haha! ~ I guess he is pretty smart !!!

Of course I don't mind have some snacks during the party or while we are watching movies ..... when people share the finger food is a nice joy thing to do. Just don't stuff your empty stomach with these snacks. You can satisfy your tastebuds, but always stay in control the quantity. These is like finding the balance in our lives between the freedom and restrictions! We still need to keep a few absurd things to fully enjoy our lives, right?

These baked kale Chips will totally out of your imagination. My kids and hubby was refused it a thousand miles away when they see it at the first sight. After my insisted rule that they have to try anything new in my house. Everyone tasted the flavorful, crunchy goodness, and it does like roasted seaweed thin slices.

我不是個愛吃零食的人, 從小爸爸就反對吃零食. 但是過年過節時奶奶就會買一些日本進口的精緻零食. 從香脆的煎餅到甜滋滋的黃金糖是我印象最深刻的. 大部分的餅乾會放在大家可以自取的廚房櫃子上, 糖果則是被父親藏在藥櫃裡. 弟弟和我誰也不會想到那裡去拿. 住在小鎮上的孩子們有太多美味可口的小吃, 早餐後有傳統零嘴, 午餐後有下午點心, 睡前的宵夜也是正常的飲食習慣. 鎮上很多人都有一樣的飲食習慣, 也很少看到體重超重的人. 總覺得健康簡單的手工美食令人容易滿足, 一碗陽春麵配上豆乾或海苔, 還是來碗滷肉飯配上𩵚魠魚焿就可以幸福許久了.

現代人的飲食含括了太多的加工食品, 機器製造的, 冷凍的. 這些食品並不是完全不好, 但是因為購買保存方便又隨手可得, 所以人們很容易上癮. 更令人憂慮的是高塩高糖, 而且明明才吃了一點點就充滿了高熱量, 而且還越吃越餓.

我也像奶奶一樣, 偶而會買一點零食, 但當我在外面肚子餓時, 最耐不住人家餵我吃零食. 我會越吃越火的. 老公常說, 讓我開心的首要條件就是把我餵飽就對了, 千萬不能讓我餓著, 否則我會失去理智像颱風過境的, 沒有人會想遇到那情況的. 哈哈, 算他聰明!!!

當然我也不介意吃零食, 在派對上, 或看電影時..... 當人們分享這些小東西其實是一件開心的事. 只是不能拿來填補空洞的胃. 偶而拿來解解饞, 控制量的攝取就沒問題了. 這就好像在自由與約束的生活中找尋到平衡點呀! 我們活著還是得保有些荒唐事才能盡情享受人生, 不是嗎？

這些烤過的羽衣甘藍葉完全超乎你的想像. 孩子和老公起初看到時, 拒絕於千里之外. 在我堅持得品嚐任何一樣新食品的原則後. 大家嚐到了香酥脆的好味道, 而且還挺像海苔脆片的. 除了狠順口之外, 轉眼之間就一掃而空了. 簡單的調味, 高度的營養價值, 也少了醣類的攝取熱量. 放下你的洋芋片換成這些綠色小樹叢吧！你會愛上它的 !!!

材料:

羽衣甘藍葉, 洗淨去梗, 撕成大片狀, 瀝全乾. 或者直接買美國超市有販售處理好的.

調味料:

1. 任何一樣植物性油. (可以使用噴霧式的油罐效果更佳)

2. 海塩.

3. 白胡椒.

4. 香蒜粉.

5. 葱粉.

*或是用任何你喜歡的香料吧！

烤箱預熱350F

烤盤鋪上烘培紙, 將羽衣甘藍葉攤平而不重疊的份量, 淡淡的均勻的灑上油, 塩, 胡椒, 蒜粉, 洋蔥粉, 拌均. 再次攤乎均勻放好. 烤10-15分鐘, 直到它變酥脆但未焦化. 這將會和你的羽衣甘藍葉的大小和葉上溼度的不同, 而有時間上的小差異! 就醬!!!

*記得重點是羽衣甘藍葉一定要盡可能晾乾, 油若下的太重這些葉片則顯油膩. 😉😘😋
