Re: Drying fresh herbs...kale too?

[Guest guest]

That sounds like a great idea for herbs.  I wonder if it is too hot down here

for that though.  melted this thing on my dashboard that kept things from

sliding.  Made it sticky.

 

I got this recipe from Craig for " Kale Crisps "

 

Wash & dry

Tear leaves from stem

Tear in pieces

Place on cookie sheet and spray with Pam.  Use spices like garlic powder and

Mrs. Dash, etc.

Bake 350 oven for 12-15 min.

 

It is certainly hotter than just preserving them.  This is probably there for

not using something with negative calories and too much salt. 

 

 I do use a tortilla chip called, " Xochitl " pronounced like " so cheel " .  They

are thin and crispy, no salt, no trans fats, no gluten, all natural, no

preservatives, no cholesterol, no GMO .  I guess the Mexican wors are " Totopos

de Maiz " .  They are stone ground corn chips quick fried in pressed safflower,

sunflower and Cottonseed/Palm oil, organic palm super olein.  The totopos

(chips) are like Indians made tortillas with corn, water and lime.  They have a

decent flavor even without the salt. 

 

The kale doesn't get fried though, but it does have Pam or you could use

straight olive oil.  I think I'd spray the sheet or put on parchment paper and

spray it.  Or turn them over and spray.

Depends on how long you want your chips riding in your car. It takes several

days for the herbs to dry.

PD: This hint was given to me by the Orange County (CA) Herb Society

This is a great idea from ew...does anyone think it would work for kale chips?

Just a heads up...don't let the work LIME fool you, when it is shown as an

ingredient in corn chips or other Mexican foods-it isn't the lovely lime fruit

they are using, but slaking lime...a chemical!
