Kale Chips

Oh Kale, you and I have a complicated relationship. You provide more nutritional value for fewer calories than any food around. You are high in Vitamin K, Vitamin A and Fiber. You are one of the top cancer fighting foods. I want to love you and eat more of you, but you taste like Kale.

Here is a great recipe that the husband, the four year old and me loved. Despite the salt, I think this is a super healthy snack that I will be making again soon.  A note - you can substitute any spice you like. I loved the smokey flavor of the paprika, but that might not be your thing.

Kale Chips

One bunch of Kale, torn into pieces, washed and dried.
Olive Oil for drizzling
Paprika to taste
Sea Salt to taste

Preheat Oven to 300 degrees
After washing and drying the Kale, put it in a bowl with the Olive Oil drizzled over it.
Add spices and mix until coated

Arrange the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until at desired crispness.

Eat!

  1. So, I happened upon your food blog from some Facebook posting and I am SO GLAD that I did! Tried these Kale chips tonight and they were a revelation. I had a TON of kale and made two batches - one cooked for 20 minutes and one for 24. They were both delicious both the 24 minutes batch was super crispy (i.e. extra extra nummy). Thanks for sharing this recipe! What else ya got? ;)
