OK. These haven’t exactly made my children jump for joy. But my son doesn’t hate them and my guests pop them in their mouths like candy.
I’m starting to think I could serve these up as appetizers.
They’re so easy to make, I just had to share the recipe from Simply Recipes via Pinterest.
I haven’t tried adding bacon or pine nuts. Those would be great add ins.
I did however, add a bit more lemon juice and peeled off a few of the outer leaves to have more crispy pieces per serving (or to tide me over during the walk from oven to table).
