I’ve been searching high and low for some sort of baked chard recipe (way too much chard in the vegetable box right now), just to see if anyone’s done it. Since nobody (that I know of) has, I decided to take a chance and just do it. Who’d a thunk, it actually turned out really good, especially with the roasted duck and buttermilk mashed potatoes from Friday’s Food Foray adventure.
The general recipe is written with olive oil, but this batch made use of the rendered duck fat which made it taste really really divine. The only caloric value is what’s poured onto the chard. For me, the salt and the crunch echoes that of a potato chip. I think I might be onto something… [K]

I am anxious to give this a try, I am adding more greens to my diet and this is a good way to add a different texture.
