Farmers' Market Kale Chips...sooo yummy


Kale is amazing. One cup of kale has just 36 calories, a whopping 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6, 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. Seriously, if you aren't eating it, why?!?

What you need:

  • Bunch of kale with huge leaves...from your local farmers' market perhaps!?
  • 1/2 tbs olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • any other spices you like :)
What to do:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 300
  2. Tear leafy part of kale away from thick stem in the middle and break into "chip-size" pieces (like 2 in. by 2 in. or bigger or smaller to your liking...the pieces will shrink as they bake). It's super easy just to cut along the stem to get the leaves off.
  3. Wash kale and dry very very very thoroughly (important...will not crisp very well if they are damp). I like to use a salad spinner and then flatten between paper towels.
  4. Toss kale pieces in olive oil and salt/spices and rub into leaves
  5. Lay kale in single layer on cookie sheet
  6. Pop in the oven for 10-15 minutes...check them...they are done when they are crisp (but not burnt)
Enjoy!!
