Kale Chips Recipe

Ingredients

1 bunch of fresh Kale

Drizzle Olive Oil (until fully incorporated)

Seasonings of your choice (ex: sea salt, garlic powder, paprika)

Direction

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Wash the kale leaves and thoroughly dry them. Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing the tough stems.

3. In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the kale pieces. Toss them gently to ensure the oil coats each leaf evenly.

4. Spread the kale on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren't crowded.

5. Season your kale chips with your choice of seasonings. Keep it simple with sea salt or get creative with garlic powder, paprika, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the kale chips are crispy but not burnt. Keep an eye on them as they can cook quickly.

7. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying.

So there you have it – a healthier alternative to traditional chips that's nutritious, delicious, and family-friendly. Kale chips are a fantastic way to introduce your children to the world of greens while satisfying your cravings for something crunchy.
