Recipe Challenge Day 2: The Ultimate Kale Chips
February 2, 2014
Let’s just say I had to go to the store and buy 4 more hand-fulls of Kale in order to do this recipe. I ate the first batch, my husband ate the second and my kids ate the third and fourth before they all gave me a pouting frown and begging whine for more. This is by far the single most amazing recipe of all times and it’s done in under 15 minutes. Not only that it’s healthy for you! What is it?
Kale Chips.
No I am not joking in any way, my family dove into this snack , literally face to the bowl fighting over the last ones. I didn’t see this coming in anyway but be warned you may have to buy extra Kale because you can’t get enough! My kids told me to plant extra kale in the garden, and I have a feeling I’ll be making these very often from now on. I don’t mind one bit, Kale packs a healthy punch check out the health benefits-
- high in iron.
- high in Vitamin K.
- filled with antioxidants.
- is a great anti-inflammatory food
- Eating more kale can help lower cholesterol levels.
- high in Vitamin A.
- high in Vitamin C.
- high in calcium.
Ingredients
Kale – Wash the kale then break it up into pieces but not too small
Half of a Lemon
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper
Optional other seasonings to jazz it up with instead of Paprika
* Chili Powder
* Chipotle powder
* Curry
* Cheyenne pepper
Directions
Set the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lay down all the broken kale. Squeeze the lemon over the pieces then drizzle with oil. Your pick of seasonings, you can really choose whatever you like, Chili Powder won in the end with the family though they loved it. Sprinkle the seasonings garlic powder salt and pepper over the kale. Toss it around on the sheet getting everything covered. Make sure you lay everything flat before you bake. Bake for about 10 minutes, You want a few pieces to be slightly brown but take it out as soon as the edges look cooked.
Take them out place on plate or in a bowl and have at it. Perfect for snacking!

I've never had kale but a few friends of mine absolutely love it. I don't eat enough leafy greens, actually I don't think I eat any at all & I know I need to. I should try this, especially because of all the health benefits.

Kale chips sounds interesting, my hubby made a salad a while ago, we all liked it except him. I was telling him how Kale is beneficial and good for health. May be he will like chips more than salad.

I've never had Kale. I am trying to eat healthier so this would be awesome instead of the junk food I normally consume (entirely too often!)

I love kale. I eat, or should I say, drink it everyday in my morning green juice. But I love kale salad too. I don't really do the chips because I eat mostly raw, but they look delicious.

Eating Kale are so yummy. We don't have that kind in our country though but I wish we have – they have a lot of antioxidants which are perfect to my diet and skin too.

Your recipe is a different than most I've seen but I recently found Kale Chips not too long ago. I tried them myself and wondered what took me so long to try this. I'm going to be trying your recipe as well. Thanks for sharing.

I have tried and tried to like kale and can not seem to do it. I love it in shakes where I can cover the flavor. I have a friend that loves making kale chips so I will share this with her.

I have never eaten Kale before-that I know of anyway. This does sound like a much better snack option and not that difficult to make.

They were awesome, I tried different seasonings ( spicy wins out in the end) You can play with flavors to see what you like best.

I can honestly say I have never tried Kale. My parents sometime grow gardens though, so I might have to suggest growing some kale to them.

I'm going to grow kale in the garden this year, but I've never had it before. This sounds like a great way to try it.
