Baked Kale Chips

By contributing writer Andrea Green.

Have you tried making baked kale chips? I was shocked the first time we tried them. Baked kale chips taste so much like a potato chip yet they are a much healthier alternative. What’s more: they are really easy to make and take virtually no time to prepare.

If you have access to a Costco, check to see if they carry organic baby kale. The large bags of baby kale are ideal for making these kale chips. All that is required is snapping off any extra long stems. Otherwise, the baby kale is ready to use in this recipe.

If you can’t find baby kale, your prep time will be a bit longer. Buy two big bunches of kale at the grocers for this recipe. Rinse the kale and spin it dry. Then you will need to strip the leaves from the tough kale stem. All you want is the leaves.
