Kale Chips With Furikake Japanese Rice Seasoning Recipe

Baked kale chips are seasoned with japanese furikake (rice seasoning) to create a healthful and flavorful japanese-inspired snack. Traditional kale chips are seasoned with sea salt and olive oil, but in this japanese version of the classic snack, salt is replaced with furikake, which is a japanese seasoning mix of salt and other seasonings such as sesame seeds, dried seasoned seaweed (nori) flakes, and other dried ingredients. If you're not familiar with japanese cuisine, furikake is one of the most basic of rice seasonings that is made of dried ingredients, is shelf stable, and is a favorite among children. It is a condiment that makes a regular appearance during most japanese meals by turning plain steamed rice into a colorful, flavorful dish of rice that you'll want to eat on its own.
