Need more delicious veggie dishes? Hey that Rhymes!
It’s a health idea to eat more veggies. Veggies are packed with antioxidants and nutrients that slow down the aging process and naturally strengthen the body. I find many folks eat way too many simple carbs or staple foods like bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes. This will lead to weight gain.
As a health tip, I suggest to greatly decrease these staple foods (simple carbs) and increase veggies (complex carbs). You can eat lots of good non-starchy veggies and not worry about weight gain or clogged arteries unlike the staple food carbs and meats and fats. Non-starchy veggies include such veggies as broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, escarole, celery and so on. I also find people dislike eating veggies because they dislike the way they taste. Well don’t give up! You probably just need to find some good recipes. Here’s a finger food idea that tastes great.
Kale Chips – Fast and Simple
Ingredients
1 bunch of kale (remove the stem) – tear into 3 inch pieces (approx.)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Olive Oil
Mixing bowl
aluminum foil
convection oven
- Set the oven to 425 degrees
- Line your oven tray with aluminum foil
- Add the kale pieces to the mixing bowl and lightly drisel with olive oil. Quickly rub the olive oil over the kale pieces
- Place the kale pieces on the aluminum foil covered tray in single layers and not over lapping
- Salt (take it easy / not too much)
- Bake between 7 and 10 minutes until crispy
- Eat them and enjoy!
Note: cooking time can vary depending on the size of the pieces. It’s very easy to burn them so when you see a few pieces starting to brown take them out.
