A different kind of chip


They look kind of funny but oh do they taste delicious! Kale chips is the name, eating them is the game. Have you ever had them? If not I highly encourage you to try them. They are super easy to make and a healthy delicious snack. Here is the recipe.....

Take a bunch of kale and wash it off. Dry the leaves extremely well as the moisture will keep them from getting crisp.

Cut the leaves off the stem and cut into smallish pieces.

Put leaves into a bowl and toss in olive oil (about 2 tbsp.) until well coated. Place on baking sheet and sprinkle some sea salt all over the leaves. You can add other spices if you wish.

Put into 200 degree preheated oven. Let bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. You can check the kale half way through and stir the leaves up a little bit so they bake evenly. Then turn up the oven to about 350 - 400 for about 10-15 minutes or until the kale is a deep dark green and crispy. Take out of oven and cool. If the leaves are still not crunchy at this point you can keep baking them until they are. Just watch them closely because it's easy to burn.

Store in a sealed container and keep in fridge or cool place; if you don't eat them all first.
Enjoy!

Rhonda, this ranks right up there with that lavender ice cream you tried last summer... Are they good?

Oh my gosh, Juli! They are soooo good. I couldn't stop eating them. If you like Kale, you will love these. I actually got a couple of my coworkers to eat some and they liked them. That's good!
