my healthy quest continues...i've tried kale chips before and love the crunchy, saltiness that is a great substitute for potato chips/fries. i think this could be a super awesome alternative and something that can help get me in the right direction. for some reason, i could not find whole leaves, so i bought the precut salad variation instead and love that they mimic san francisco's, or should i say gilroy's, beloved garlic fries, but with way less than fat and no carbs! this is an extremely easy recipe that is worth the wait. i can't wait to try this with whole leaves...
