Kale Chips

Kale Chips

You can’t get much better than kale chips when you are looking for a healthy snack. They are easy to prepare and fun to eat. My garden is producing a lot of kale these days and I find myself making a fresh batch every few days. If you never had them before I urge you to give kale chips a try. While I often make mine with Tuscan kale you can make them with any variety of kale you like. Cooking times my vary.

Tuscan Kale Chips

These make a different and fun appetizer when served upright in a tumbler or vase.

12 large Tuscan kale leaves, rinsed, dried and split lengthwise with the ribs removed

1 T. olive oil

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In a large bowl toss kale leaves with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange leaves in a single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until crisp- about 30 minutes for flatter leaves and 33 minutes for more crinkly leaves. Makes 24.
