I have been absolutely obsessed with kale in the last few months. I love its flavor AND it's good for you! I try to keep some kale in my refrigerator for moments when I want to make a quick and healthy snack. Guilt-free snacks are the best kind! I usually buy pre-washed and pre-cut organic kale sold by the package. A 10oz bag usually makes two medium-sized bowls of chips and that costs $2.99 at Trader Joe's. You can buy by the bunch, but I like the convenience of making the kale chips on a fly. In just a few simple steps, you can be making your own healthy snack for you and your family too!
Ingredients:
- 10oz bag of pre-washed and pre-cut kale (If buying by the bunch: wash and dry thoroughly before cutting into 1" pieces.)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Lay the kale pieces on a large sheet pan or cookie sheet and drizzle just enough oil olive to coat them. Toss the kale pieces until they are evenly coated. Spread the pieces out evenly.
- Add a couple dashes of salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake for ten minutes and remove from the oven. Toss the pieces again, so that they can cook evenly. Bake for another ten minutes.
The next time you reach for a package of popcorn to make for a movie night, reach for that bag of kale in your fridge instead. Warning: These are highly addictive and you will wish you made more! Be prepared to make a second batch if necessary.
I also use kale to make a hearty soup that is great in warming me up on the coldest days. Check back soon for my kale and sausage recipe!
