Baked Kale Chips

Kale is one of those greens that can be mysterious to many people. I, personally, LOVE it as a snack! Kale chips are a tasty, healthy treat and also a great source of vitamins.

Here's a very easy recipe for crispy, baked kale chips:

What you will need:
  • 1 bunch Kale
  • a few tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cookie sheet
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  • Wash Kale thoroughly to remove any residual dirt or debris and dry
  • With a knife or kitchen scissors, remove kale leaves from center stem
  • Tear or cut into smaller, bitesize pieces (they will shrink slightly in the oven)
  • Place on cookie sheet so pieces are not touching
  • Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper
  • Bake until edges are brown but not burnt 10-15 minutes
Tips:
  • Use any dried or fresh herbs you desire (I like to add a little fresh garlic or even garlic scapes....YUM!!)
  • Great idea for kids, they resemble potato chips in texture
