I don’t know about you, but I crave salt – majorly! But most
of the time my salt fix comes with some unwanted fats, carbs and a ton of other
unhealthy additives. Luckily, kale chips have come in to my life with a
vengeance and I’ve never looked back.
Kale chips can run from $4 to $8 at the grocery store. Seems
absurd to me considering I can buy a whole head of Kale for less than $2 and
add whatever flavoring I want to it, so I prefer to make this delectable and
easy snack myself.
Once you see how easy it is to make this delicious, you will
be hooked…just like me! And there is nothing wrong with being hooked on
something that is considered a “super food.”
Prep time: 5
minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Kale Chips
1 head of kale
Salt
Olive Oil
Cayenne Pepper
*or try Parmesan cheese and lemon zest*
- Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and preheat the oven to 275.
- Wash kale and dry off leaves.
- Rip 2 inch chunks of kale leaves off the spine. These shrink, so if you want bigger pieces, make them bigger.
- Lay flat on the cookie sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and your favorite seasoning. Don’t drench the leaves in oil, just enough to touch the majority of each piece.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping over or moving around halfway through.
- Enjoy!
