If chips are your go-to snack, try crispy, vitamin-filled kale chips as a healthy snack option. We seasoned our chips with simple salt and pepper, but you could try tossing them in sriracha or adding a splash of lemon juice before baking.

Ingredients

1 bunch (12 ounces) fresh kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Remove and discard thick stems from kale. Tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Rinse and dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl combine kale, oil, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, cayenne pepper, massaging with your hands to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes. Stir gently. Bake for 2 to 4 minutes more or until completely dry and crisp, being careful not to burn.

TIP:

Store cooled chips in an airtight container. If necessary, re-crisp the chips by baking them in a 325 degrees F oven for 3 to 4 minutes.
