What a delicious way to get your family to eat more veggies! Kale chips are crispy and tastier and healthier than potato chips. Give them a try!
Sometimes people initially turn up their nose because they don't like kale, but once they try them, they can't stop snacking!
Directions:
1 bunch of fresh kale: wash and dry very well.
Remove stems and discard.
Tear or cut into 4-inch pieces.
Spread evenly on a baking tray and lightly mist with olive oil or avocado spray.
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, chili powder, nutritional yeast, or curry powder – almost any flavoring you enjoy.
Bake at 350F for 8 minutes, flipping over half way through. Watch carefully to avoid burning – it happens in a moment!
