Baking my greens....

[Skip]

I saw a recipe for making kale chips a while back and tried it. It involved baking the kale and I found it to reduce the tartness of the kale and made it much more palatable to me.

So I've tried baking some other greens like brocoli and I have found that baking it also makes it much tastier to me.

I am wondering if baking my greens reduces the nutritional value of them and if other people bake their greens (I'm not much of a cook!)...

I just made kale chips for the first time last night too and I wondered the same thing (if I was decreasing the nutritional benefit)! It seemed like eating my leafy greens in that form was "too good to be true". I'd love to hear what others think about this

I've made roasted broccoli and loved the flavor. As far as I can tell then nutritional value is not significantly reduced. And hey, if it gets you to eat more greens than that is better anyway!

I'll bet it's BETTER than cooking in water, b/c at least the water doesn't carry the nutrients away. Ask on Jeff's forum--he's sure to know!

I've got to try this kale chip thing!
