Enhance your Kale: A tasty, healthy snack!

Ready for a way to get some great nutrients in a way you've never imagined.  Are you a snacker tired of the old potato chips and popcorn, but still hungry?  Yeah, I would encourage you to grab a bunch of Kale, Olive Oil spray, and Seasoning Salt.

It takes about 30 minutes to make and is so simple, my 2 year old and 5 year old love to help with it.  And it's only around the house for about 30 minutes after it's cooled to when it's completely gone.

Experiment with this, you can use different flavored sprays and different seasoning. Oh, maybe even some Parmesan cheese?  Post your results and favorite flavors here!



Kale Chips:
  • Bunch Kale
  • Olive Oil Cooking Spray
  • Sprinkling of Seasoning Salt
  1. Preheat oven to 275*
  2. Start with breaking the Kale off the stems and drop in large bowl, spray cookie sheet with Olive Oil.  Lay the Kale out on the cookie sheet and spread out so the leaves don't over by very much.
  3. Lightly spray the Kale chips with Olive Oil and spring with Seasoning Salt (or substitute)
  4. Put in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the leaves are dried out but before they turn too brown.
  5. Let cool, and ENJOY!!!!!!
Try different flavors if you're bold enough!!!!!
This is what the Kale will look like when purchasing them from the grocery store, before you pull it off the stems.



Pulled from the stems, sprayed, and seasoned...ready to CRISPIFY ;)
