I've been wanting to post a healthy, easy snack recipes like Kale Chips. I remember one time I told my friend, Melissa, that I would like to bake some kale chips for our snack, and she told me she ate them before. Prepackaged and tasted horrible. When I visited her and made her some, she said they tasted better than prepackaged kinds. Nobody should buy kale chips anyway. They are easy to make. Plus, they taste best right out of the oven. Warm and crunchy.
I've seen a lot of recipes calling for spices, cheese, etc. But seriously, kale chips only need oil and sea salt. Less is more kinda snack. The oven temperature will be up to you. Some recipes called for very high heat 400F degree. Some were in between 300F degrees. My friend Nicole told me to go low and slow to keep the nutrients. So I tested this recipe with 225F degree. Nicole said to go even lower than that but I was too impatient. You decide the oven temperature. The idea is to make kale leaves crispy like chips.
Kale Chips
serve 2-3, depending on how much you make
a few organic kale leaves
cooking oil or spray (olive oil, safflower oil, or coconut oil)
sea salt
- Preheat the oven to the lowest setting, between 170F to 225F degrees.
- For each kale, remove leaves from stem then tear them in bite size pieces. Remover any hard stem on the leaves as well.
- Place the kale leaves on the baking pan.
- Spray the kale leaves with cooking oil or coat them with cooking oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisps, about 30 minutes.
- Take the baked kale chips out of the oven and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Let the baked kale leaves cool then transfer them to a bowl. Enjoy!!! We actually love them with our family movie afternoon.
