Kale Chips

Kale Chips

These are a family favorite around here and so simple! Kale chips are a great alternative to other sweet and salty snacks. My two year old loves them and my husband will bring home a bunch of kale and specifically as for them!!

Ingredients:
2 bunches of kale, rinsed and patted dry
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
Note: You can experiment with the toppings! I like a bit of garlic powder on mine, or the dry ranch packets, crushed red pepper is delicious and I've heard good things about cumin! Test out different things!

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
2. Tear the leaves from the bunch of kale into 1/2" pieces. (Make sure the kale is dry or it won't get the lovely crispy texture!)
3. Toss the kale leaves in olive oil and salt.

4. Spread the kale in a single layer (or as best you can in a single layer) on a baking sheet. 

5. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring and "flipping" every 7-10 minutes or so. I think I probably baked mine for about 22 minutes, but just pay close attention! You'll know they're done because they're nice a crispy. They'll shrink up quite a bit, as well.
With kale chips, it's better to under-cook than over-cook. Burnt kale chips are AWFUL.

6. Eat them up and send your husband to the store for more kale! :)
