dino feathers.

kale. 

people have been eating this superfood for over 2,000 years. 

it is packed with more than 100% of your daily requirement in vitamins A, K & C and is oozing with free-radical-neutralizing antioxidants {known as cancer-fighting properties}. also, kale's high fiber content aids in digestion and keeps inflammation at bay. yes, please!

so, sometimes it's hard for me to convince the hubster that eating kale is...super fun. 

enter: my fabulous recipe for dino feathers.

ingredients:

one bunch of rinsed, trimmed organic dinosaur kale

extra virgin olive oil

sea salt

pepper

1. preheat oven broiler {high}

2. cover cookie sheet with foil 

{if you are as lazy as me, this will make cleanup a breeze.}

3. lay each dino leaf in one layer on your cookie sheet.

4. brush each feather with olive oil

5. salt and pepper to taste

6. broil in the oven for 5 minutes. 

{each oven is different, so you may need to increase / decrease cook time and turn your feathers over mid-way if still not crispy. just keep an eye on 'em, as they burn quickly!}

7. enjoy as a side to a salad, fish, or well...by themselves! 

p.s.//when you eat these, you may want to nibble the tops and toss the ends. the bottoms tend to get a little tough. i didn't trim the ends because i think the feather presentation is kind of adorable. can kale be adorable? 

yes, yes it can.
