Basic Kale Chips

(Terri Ciccone)

There couldn’t be a simpler, tastier snack than Kale chips. These little guys blow the minds of my roommates each and every time I make them. They’re our favorite TV night snack, since they are really easy to make and a great replacement for potato chips. They require hardly any ingredients, have a great light crunch (I would argue even better than potato chips), less starch, less salt, and even more flavor.

Prep Time:

Total Time:45 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 Bunch curly kale

1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

After you rinse and dry your kale, begin to tear off the ends in 1-inch bunches, while still getting some of the flat parts as well.

Place the pieces evenly and flat on a foil-lined tray. Drizzle the olive oil evenly in a line across the pieces. Then, salt and pepper evenly and to taste.

Place in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until the chips have browned. Be sure to keep an eye on them! They can burn quickly.
