As much as I hold a deep affinity for sushi rolls and fresh Pacific Northwest ingredients, as found in my usual cuisine, each recipe has a beautiful story to share. One that I find particularly delightful and wholesome is the Baked Kalette and Parmesan Chips. This recipe not only reflect my passion for cuisine but bring together the essence of my upbringing in Seattle with a unique blend of rusticity and refinement.
A Symphony of Ingredients
This humble dish creates a symphony of flavors and textures by merging the sweet, nutty Kalette with the sharp and savory Parmesan cheese. The light drizzle of honey, the pop of lemon juice, not to mention the hint of pepper and sea salt all marry well to create a balanced and appealing palate. Reminiscent of traditional brussel sprouts or kale chips, this recipe takes it one step further, introducing the special twist of Kalette, a hybrid of kale and brussels sprouts.
Health and Versatility in a Dish
What’s more, this delightful recipe is a powerhouse of nutrients too. Kalette, besides being known for its distinct flavor, is a fantastic source of Vitamin C and K. Combine that with the protein-packed Parmesan, and you’ve got yourself a guilt-free, health-promoting dish that’ll have everyone smiling.
Moreover, the versatility of the Baked Kalette and Parmesan Chips is nothing short of impressive. Pair it with a juicy roast chicken or a delicate white fish. Alternatively, enjoy it as a hearty, quick snack during your movie night. You can also check the Olive Oil Times to see how the benefits of the olive oil in this dish can be enjoyed beyond your kitchen.
So, every time I prepare this meal, I am pleasantly reminded of the summer gardens of my Seattle home, coupled with the healthier lifestyle I’ve embraced and advocate. Here’s to a recipe that celebrates robust flavor, healthful ingredients, and the simple joys of cooking.
What You’ll Need
- 1 pound of Kalette
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey
Method
Step One
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating, arrange the Kalettes on a large baking sheet.
Step Two
Drizzle the Kalettes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Then, sprinkle them with the grated Parmesan cheese. Add a dash of sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Step Three
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chips as they can easily burn. They should be crispy and golden brown when finished.
Step Four
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice and honey. This will be used as a dipping sauce for the Kalette chips.
Step Five
After the Kalette chips have finished baking, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve alongside the lemon-honey dipping sauce. Enjoy these healthy and flavorful chips as a snack or an appetizer.
