- Hey y'all, it's Jamie Dean.
0:02
I'm back in mama's kitchen.
0:03
I've got simple, easy recipes for you.
0:05
And you know that the very first week of the year,
0:10
(clears throat) Excuse me-
0:11
well for mama, really,
0:12
52 weeks of the year is air fryer week.
0:14
But for us, the first week of January is air fryer week.
0:18
So if you go to Amazon,
0:19
you get $20 off any of the air fryer...
0:22
that's not easy for me to say.
0:24
If you go to amazon.com, you get $20 off
0:25
any of mom's air fryer appliances this year.
0:30
- [Theresa] On her Paula Dean store.
0:31
- On her Paula Dean store.
0:32
That's why I keep women
0:33
around me all the time 'cause I don't know nothing.
0:36
I do know that you get $20 off.
0:37
First week of the year is air fryer week
0:39
and we're doing that because,
0:41
who ate the whole turkey?
0:44
Who ate all the pies?
0:44
Who ate all the cakes?
0:46
Y'all we gotta cut back.
0:47
So let's make one week out of the the year
0:50
the week that we cut back.
0:51
And today we're doing kale chips.
0:53
My wife loves kale chips.
0:56
Now a long, long, long, long, long time ago
0:58
when we were still just starting
1:00
our restaurant trying to figure some things out,
1:02
mom took some collard greens
1:04
and threw 'em in the air fryer
1:07
and they were like delicious little chips.
1:09
Mom was way ahead of the curve on kale chips.
1:12
We did collard green chips
1:13
and we did deep fry 'em,
1:15
with a little bit of salt.
1:16
And we would serve that under our
1:18
black bean burgers or anything that we could think of.
1:23
It was such a nice little thing,
1:24
and now everybody loves kale chips.
1:27
So we're gonna make our own here at the house
1:28
using mom's air fryer back here,
1:30
and I'll show you how to use it.
1:31
I'll bring Teresa around.
1:33
Start with some kale, y'all.
1:35
It's just like a collard.
1:36
It's got a vein that runs through the middle of it.
1:41
Make sure that you dry it off as best as you can.
1:45
And we're gonna take a little bit of our olive oil.
1:48
Now, this goes a long way when we're
1:50
in a container like this.
1:51
So I'm just gonna cover this top part.
1:55
to give it a little bit of extra flavor,
1:57
we're gonna add some Parmesan cheese,
2:02
Not too much, just enough to get that nutty flavor.
2:06
Now, kale chips are also gonna need
2:07
a little bit of salt,
2:10
and a little bit of pepper on here.
2:16
Try to cut it just as best as I can.
2:19
So kale is really good for you.
2:22
And it's interesting, you know.
2:24
I'll put it in Davis' smoothies a lot 'cause we,
2:29
I don't say, "sneak it in,"
2:30
but you can build in some vegetables for smoothies,
2:34
and kids will just eat it up.
2:36
Kale is a go to for us.
2:38
I've got this coated, and with our cheese.
2:42
And this looks like a lot in here y'all.
2:44
But you know, it's the volume of this.
2:46
If you've ever put spinach in a saute pan,
2:51
and you saute some spinach down;
2:52
you know what you start with and what you finish with
2:54
are just about never the same.
2:58
I'm not gonna push my luck too much.
2:59
Get some of this cheese.
3:01
Swing around here T, let's show 'em.
3:03
We're gonna go right in here.
3:08
Let's go check our temperature.
3:11
We're gonna go at 350.
3:29
- 350, air fry, start.
3:33
Now this doesn't really take that long to cook.
3:36
We're gonna put this in here.
3:38
Let me check, oh, the little air fryer bible
3:40
that I got laying around here.
3:43
Well Paula Dean, y'all, says,
3:46
look at all these bookmarked pages,
3:47
"Our kale chips are gonna cook in here for 10 minutes."
3:51
This also has a timer.
3:57
If I can do it, anybody can.
3:59
10 minutes on our kale chips y'all.
4:01
Stick around. We're so excited.
4:04
We're eating healthy.
4:11
I'll tell you, it's easy to see why my wife loves these.
4:21
You know, I've never tried to pretend
4:24
to be something that I'm not.
4:26
I've told everybody from day one, I'm just a cook.
4:30
I don't have any classic training.
4:32
And even more than that I'm a lucky cook
4:34
'cause my mom is a fantastic cook.
4:37
So I stay close to her, and I'm not ever going to
4:40
tell y'all I can do something if I can't.
4:42
And I'm gonna be the first one to tell you,
4:44
I think I put too much cheese in these kale chips.
4:47
'Cause I have cheese in abundance.
4:51
And to be honest with you, talking and cooking
4:53
it's not the easiest thing in the world.
4:54
Although I've been doing it a really long time.
4:58
Look, I tell you what.
5:01
We've taken something that I had
5:02
no interest in eating at all
5:05
I gotta, I love the cheese.
5:07
(kale chips crunching)
5:09
Well, I'll be doggone!
5:18
Let me tell you, that is good!
5:31
$20 off this week y'all.
5:34
I'm making these for my wife today.
5:37
That's some good food!
5:38
See y'all around the kitchen.
