kale! who doesn’t love it? we eat a lot of the humble vegetable around these parts, most often paired with beans and rice andwe’re always looking for a new uses since you really can’t go wrong eating more a food that’s chock full of full vitamins A, C, and E, fiber, calcium, manganese and all manner of other goodness ( apparently others are noticing and it’s making a comeback as a trendy superfood ).

given our kale consumption it’s a little surprising that we’ve never made baked kale chips given that it’s a simple enough recipe – take some kale, cut it up, give it a light coating of oil and bake in a 375F oven for 20 minutes or so until crisp.

first things first. carefully separate the leafy parts of the kale from the tougher spiny parts.

then you break the leafs up into something more appropriately chip-sized.

add enough olive oil to lightly coat the kale.

mix well and try not flip too much on the floor 🙂

place on a baking sheet lined it with parchment paper. maybe you could skip the parchment. who knows. be adventurous.

put in an oven pre-heated to 375°F.

bake for around 20 minutes or so until crisp. season with a bit of salt or other favorite seasoning ( i used a locally produced cajun-style seasoning for this batch ).

enjoy the on-the-go superfood.
