Kale Chips

If you've never had them you don't know what you're missing! At first they're kinda weird but they grow on you and next thing you know you can't stop stuffing them in your pie hole!! :oD

Kale is also one of the healthiest greens you can find, with so many benefits including cholesterol-lowering ability, cancer prevention, anti-inflammatory benefits and tons of vitamins and minerals... you just can't go wrong.

I get mine at the health food store (AKA the granola store :oP) They have it in big bunches and it comes in a large clear plastic bag which comes in really handy when you make the chips.



Kale Chips

1 large bunch of fresh kale
2 tsp. olive or canola oil
sea salt

Preheat oven to 275f.
Wash the kale (and the plastic bag, dry it and keep it for the next step) cuz even if it's from the health food store, there is still some form of pesticides on it. Then shake off excess water and tear off the spine from each leaf and put the pieces back in the bag. Drizzle in the oil and sprinkle in the salt (you don't need alot, about 1/8 tsp. should be enough) Close up the bag and give it a good shake to distribute the salt and oil. Spread on a large baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. They're done when the kale is very crispy.


Whatever you do, don't forget to brush your teeth after snacking on these or you'll get alot of funny looks! :oD
