Cooking for you, for me.

Homemade Kale Chips!

Kale is like the poor mans leafy green. It is so cheap, probably one of the cheapest veggies I’ve encountered, and they really don’t get enough credit. They are delicious in almost every mean- especially when it comes to snack time! Enjoy these super easy, healthy, crispy, baked kale chips!

Preheat oven to 275 F. Wash and de-rib (pull off from the center stem) the kale, then rip into 1 and a half inch pieces. Lay the kale on a clean towl to absorb all excess water, you want your kale dry before putting it in the oven! Lay it on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non stick spray.

You can shake some garlic powder, salt, etc on the kale to have a ‘flavored’ chip. If salting, make sure you use VERY little, once all the water is dehydrated and the kale shrinks up, you chip will be way too salty if you salt it according to it’s pre-baked size. I like the chips without seasoning, because I love the taste of kale. You can also toss with 1 TSP of vinegar if you want them to resemble a ‘salt and vinegar’ chip. Anyway you like em, you can make em!

Pop in the oven for 20 minutes, after 15 minutes if you notice the chips aren’t getting crispy you can increase the heat to 300 and monitor chips for the last five minutes or more if needed.

And lastly, don’t throw away those kale ribs! You can use them in a stir fry or green smoothie :). Enjoy!
