Sometimes we have a salty, crunchy craving, but a satisfying snack doesn’t have to be unhealthy.
Kale Chips
Ingredients:
1 T olive oil
one bunch of kale
your creativity
Instructions:
1. Choosing the largest leaves, gently tear the leaves from the stems
2. Place leaves in a large bowl and gently massage the leaves with olive oil until leaves are fully coated
3. Now the fun part. Choose a topping that will meet your craving. Simply salty? Sprinkle in sea salt (and maybe a dash of vinegar). Cheese please? Grate some parmesan or other hard cheese. BBQ chips are your downfall? Sprinkle a little taco seasoning. And red pepper flakes are always a favorite with us.
4. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place leaves flat on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges of leaves just start to blacken. Check frequently. Depending on the tenderness of the leaves, they may crisp in as little as 8 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and transfer to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

One of my favorite new addictions, thanks for sharing guys!
I just picked up a bunch of kale from my local farmer on Friday so I will make this recipe today! Can’t wait to try it.
The best seasoning for kale chips! Alder Smoked Fine Salt, it’s available at Hannaford nothing else compares and most kids will eat this!
Apple Cider Vinegar! A few sprinkles with the oil. Flaky salt sprinkled when it comes out of the roasty oven. MMMMMMmmmmmm Thank you for the reminder! My kids used to love this!
I absolutely love these….I have been making them for the past few years. They are seriously addictive!!! Great snack….so quick & easy.
There has to be an untold secret! I have followed several different recipes for Kale crisps with the same results… yuck!
I have to try that. I saw Rachael Ray use the same method last week except she put her Kale under the broiler and the use the crunchy kale as a topping for a pasta dish.
As I opened this to read it, I had just put 4 trays of kale and seasonings in the dehydrator to dry. Funny how that happens sometimes.:)
