Quick healthy snack: kale chips

When I'm craving something salty, FAST, nothing is better than a fresh batch of kale chips. These are a great alternative to store bought potato chips, and save you the fat and calories, all while increasing your veggie intake. They're super simple and take a maximum of 20 minutes.





Here's what you need:
  • 1 bunch of fresh kale
  • Oil (olive, coconut, personal preference. Coconut gives it a nice sweet and savoury flavor)
  • Sea salt
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 and cover baking sheet with tinfoil or parchment paper
  • Rinse the kale and allow to dry (always wash your veggies folks! Don't know who had their hands on it at the store)
  • Remove the leaves from stems of the kale and discard the stems.
  • Tear leaves into bite sized pieces (keep in mind they shrink a tad when cooked)
  • Put kale leaves into a large mixing bowl
  • Add oil (I use about 1 tbsp per bunch of kale. It's all up to your preference
  • Sprinkle on sea salt. I prefer Himalayan pink salt, and use about 2 pinches worth
  • Toss mixture to evenly spread
  • Spread out on pan
  • Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes (depending on how crispy you like them). Be sure to keep an eye on them as they can burn fast
  • Enjoy!
Happy eats!
