Kale Chips

Kale is a staple food in my  household. We like it raw in our salads. It is a greats substitute for romaine lettuce in ceasar salads. It does not get soggy, so it's great for leftovers the next day. Having it in chip form is another versatile way to incorporate this super food in your diet.  You can dress it any way you'd like but my favourite is with nutritional yeast flakes and smoked paprika. Ok, so nutritional yeast is not your regular yeast...It is a deactivated yeast and is nutty and cheesy in flavour. It has a high vitamin B content.  It is great sprinkled on popcorn or in your scrambled eggs :)

  You will need... 

 1 small bunch of kale, stems removed and torn into large pieces

2 tsp of olive oil (or coconut oil, melted)

1 tbsp of nutritional yeast flakes

1 tsp of garlic salt

1/4 tsp of smoked paprika

1 tsp of chili powder

Preheat oven to 300F

Wash and thoroughly dry kale (I find that using a salad spinner works best). It is very important that the kale is dry, otherwise you will end up with soggy chips. Spread out on large parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Drizzle with  oil and massage thoroughly, making sure all the leaves are well coated with olive oil.

 Mix your spices in a small bowl and sprinkle over kale and make sure it's spread out well.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are brown, but not burnt. Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes. Enjoy!
