Health Benefits of Kale
In addition to kale chips being lower in calories, kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet! This means that there are a ton of nutrients in kale. #winning! It has a ton of vitamin K, A and C. It is a powerful antioxidant, contains substances that have shown to fight cancer and is high in minerals that a lot of us are deficient in like calcium, magnesium and potassium. Clearly kale is super healthy for you, but I know not everyone is a fan. That changes today with these kale chips!

How to Make Baked Kale Chips
To start, simply wash and dry your kale. You want to make sure your kale is super dry before adding the oil and salt! I use my salad spinner to spin it dry but you can also use a clean kitchen towel. Don’t skimp on this step. Once dry, de-stem and chop the kale into bite sized pieces. Add kale to a large bowl and toss with olive oil and salt. Spread the kale on a large baking sheet (make sure no pieces are overlapping) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the kale is nice and crispy. I usually munch on the fresh chips right away, but you can store them in a sealed container for 1-2 days if needed. They don’t ever taste as good as they do straight from the oven though! If you have a friend, partner or child that claims they hate kale, make these chips for them. I’m willing to bet that they’ll love them! A satisfying snack + nutrient packed?
