Kale Chips

Have you resolved to eat healthier this year? Well, you can cut out greasy, overly-salty chips and crackers and replace them with kale chips. These easy-to-make snacks practically melt in your mouth and appeal even to those who HATE kale. My 2 year old eats them like candy.

Fill a large bowl with washed and well-dried kale leaves. Remove the thick stems from the kale. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a few dashes of salt, garlic salt, or any other seasoning blend you like. (I have a "Taste of India" seasoning salt from Tastefully Simple that is AMAZING on these chips.) Toss these really well until each leaf is coated with oil and seasoning and spread on a sheet pan.

Place the pan in a 300 degree oven and let them sit there for 10 minutes. Then shake them around to expose the moister leaves, and keep doing this every 5 to 10 minutes until they are all dried. It should take no more than 25 minutes total, probably even less. Let them cool for just a few minutes, and then put in a bowl.

DO NOT put these into a baggie or tupperware of any sort -- they will get soggy. They'll stay fresh and delicious for at least 2 days without being covered. Can be served as a snack or side-dish.

Enjoy!
