Kale Chips

My friend Jill recently introduced me to Kale chips.  They are incredibly easy to make and super healthy and delicious!  To make them all you need is

a bunch of kale
and some salad dressing ( I used Goddess dressing but you could even go as simple as olive oil with salt and pepper)

First preheat your oven to 300 degrees.  Then rinse your kale and dry the stalks in a salad spinner or with a towel.  You want them to be as dry as possible!  Then cut the stalks off.

Now it's time to break the kale off of the remaining stalks in bite size pieces.

You want to make sure you remove all of the stalks in the center.

Now put all of the bite size pieces into a bowl and drizzle them with the dressing.  You want to lightly dress the kale.

Mix it up so that all of the kale is totally dressed but don't over do it!

Now sprinkle the dressed kale out onto a foil lined baking sheet.  I line it with foil for easy cleanup!

Put the baking sheet into the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.  You want it to be crunchy and fragrant!  Remove from the oven and enjoy!
  This is such a great snack.  It's got that salty, crunchy factor that chips have but they're so much better for you!  My kids love these!  I like to sprinkle them into salads for extra crunch or even use them as a side to a veggie burger or sandwich...:-)
  I feel that these are best eaten right away or the day of because they tend to lose their crunchiness with time.  But you can store them in a zip lock bag.

I hope you enjoy these as much as my family and friends do!  Thanks Jill!!!
