we have been experimenting with our bounty of kudzu that we have growing in a valley near our house. some things have worked, and some did not. one of our favorites has been oven baked kudzu chips. much like kale chips they are packed with nutrients and highly addictive. good thing we have a never ending field of kudzu......
ingredients
handfuls of kudzu, washed
1 tsp olive oil
sea salt
directions
-pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
-toss the washed kudzu in a bowl with the olive oil, coating each leaf
-on a baking sheet place kudzu leaves in a single layer, only overlapping the edges
-sprinkle with sea salt
-bake until crispy, just a couple of minutes
-store in an air tight container
