Kale chips made by Room 6

This week we started off by weeding our garden beds.

Then we got into the good stuff. 

Cooking kale chips! 

We harvested some of the kale planted by Room 7.

We harvested two types of kale by picking the outer leaves of our plants. 

Mrs Mardell had brought along a third type of kale. 

Use the chart below to identify what kale we used to make our kale chips.

We washed the kale and dried it.

 We gently peeled the leaf away from the tough stalk. We kept the leaves and composted the stalks. Breaking up the woody stalks makes it easier for them to break down in the compost heap.

We massaged olive oil onto the leaves and placed them onto trays to bake.

We ground the salt from salt crystals. We put the leaves onto a tray and sprinkled salt on the top. 

 Then we cooked the kale chips until they were crispy. 

 YUM YUM YUM!
