Instructions

  • To make kale: Preheat oven to 275F degrees. Remove stems and cut leaves into 2" pieces. Wash well and spin dry. Toss with oil and salt. Place on a sheet pan in a single layer and bake, flipping leaves a few times until crisp, about 35-45 minutes. Once cool, crumble into 1/2" pieces and set aside.
  • Then toast pepitas in a 350F degree oven until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
    Meanwhile, in a pot, combine maple syrup, chili flakes, and salt. Simmer until reduced by about 25%.
  • In a bowl, mix oats, puffed brown rice, kale, toasted pepitas, and maple syrup mixture. Stir until evenly mixed.
    Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray. Using a rubber spatula, firmly press mixture into pan and bake in a 350F degree oven until very golden brown and crisp, about 10-15 minutes. Then cut into bars.
