Hmmm....how kale-y does it taste? I really don't like kale. But if it doesn't taste like kale, I'm in! I'd use bacon grease and grated feta.....

Oh, and do you mean 1/2" strips? Removing stems, I'd guess? 1/2 inch squares would be too tiny....

I just cut it in to chunks. Yes, stem removed. As for flavor, it is kind of vegetable-ish and kind of potato-ish with a kick of "green". There was no "wow this is definitely kale" taste. I hope that made sense.

I REALLY liked the texture. It was so light and delicate and crispy. I ate a bunch raw and then I tried crunching some up and putting them on tuna salad. Both ways were yum

That makes sense....I do love greens but just not kale!

Gonna try them...it sounds so simple, too.

These were amazing! And it was amazing how fast I snarfed down an entire head of kale....I hate kale. DH ate a few then wandered off. His loss is my gain!

I was amazed at the delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture....it was fascinating. The flavor was wonderful, too, especially since it was kale. It had a "green" flavor, but not overwhelming. The vinegar and cheese really covered the kale quite nicely. I will be making this again. And it was amazingly easy!

I was hoping you would like them. I ate some before I added the cheese so I think the baking tones down the kale-ness in general. The little kick from the ACV is also nice. And yeah, I ate a whole bunch by myself in seconds

I may have to go out and pick some of my volunteer kale and try this! I love kale soup, and we grow it for the chickens, but I may have to increase our kale space...

The kale I planted in spring never came up. A-20 degree cold snap will do that. I will be planting it as a fall crop for sure!!
