I have been seeing a lot of posts lately about kale chips being baked in the oven. After seeing the pictures enough times, I decided to finally cave in and give it a go to see if all the hype was worth it. They are way healthier than potato chips while at the same time providing that valuable and sometimes necessary salty crunch that we all crave. So, I headed off to my nearest (and only) Sunflower market to buy a bunch of kale for $1, which surprisingly, after baking it all, made a ton of chips.
The final verdict, they are definitely worth the hype that has been produced about them. While they don't 'replace' potato chips, they do provide a delicious salty crunch while providing a ton of vitamins and minerals. I will definitely be making these again.
Kale Chips
1 bunch kale
salt and pepper to taste
splash of oil per batch of chips.
Preheat oven to 250 F.
Wash and dry kale thoroughly.
Remove the kale from the stem and tear into 'chip' size pieces.
Place into a bowl and drizzle with oil. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss the kale gently until each piece is coated with the oil, salt and pepper.
Place on a cookie sheet, but not too close together or you will steam your kale instead of baking it.
Bake for 5-8 minutes or until slightly brown and crunchy. Flip and continue to cook kale until crispy.
Remove from oven and either let cool and enjoy or eat fresh from the oven!
