Kale Chips - I Will Create Food!

Kale chips are another staple in our snacking routine.  The boys love chips, we all do, and will devour a bag in one sitting if you let them.  So as a way to give them the salty and crunchy they desire, while adding in a little something healthy, I started making them Kale Chips a few times a week.  They are super easy to make and pretty good to boot. 

You'll need:

1 bunch of Kale

1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of Olive Oil 

Seasoning of your choice

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse and dry the kale.   Separate the leaves from the hard stem and any thicker center ribs, cutting them into bite-sized pieces. (I just tear them off but you can use kitchen shears or a knife if you want things a bit more uniform.)

 

Toss the kale in the olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite seasoning.  We're partial to salt and rosemary, but we've also used Old Bay, seasoning salt, and malt vinegar. 

Spread evenly on a cookie sheet.  You can line the cookie sheet with parchment paper if you like, but I do it without with great results.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until the edges start to brown. 

Let cool, eat them all straight from the pan, make another batch and repeat.  They do store well in a Tupperware container for a week or so, but they never make it that far around here.
