I’m always looking for a healthy snack and these kale chips are just it! They have a hint of spice and are good enough for the carnivorous fiance to approve of. These were all of the hype about a year ago but i’m bringing them back because they’re so delicious. You can season them with so many different flavors: parm, salt & pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chipotle powder, taco seasoning, etc.
Did I mention how healthy they are for you? Kale is the richest source of carotenoids in the leafy-green vegetable family, making it a top cancer-fighter. Cancer fighter? I’m in!
First start out by washing the kale and preheating the oven to 425 degrees.
I like dinosaur kale because of its texture but you can also use other varieties.
Tear the leaves off from the stem keeping them together.
Dry them with a paper towel then add grapeseed oil. Spread them evenly, be sure not to crowd them as they will steam and not crisp up. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning on top. Bake for about 7 minutes depending on your oven. Be sure not to over cook them- they will burn! (it happened to one of my batches, eek!)
They’re light and crispy like a chip and healthy! What more can you ask for?

Ingredients

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Clean the kale thoroughly then peel back the leaves from the stem leaving them in long pieces.
- Dry the leaves then toss them with grapeseed oil on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- After tossing them in oil, sprinkle the cajun seasoning on top.
- Bake for 7 minutes, or until crisp. Keep an eye on them! You don't want them to burn.
When spreading out the kale on a cookie sheet, make sure you don't put them too close together. They will steam instead of crisp up.
