Kale Chips

Well I hear about Kale chips this and kale chips that all over the place here online hehe so I finally decided to take the plunge and try making them myself!

It seems like it is too easy to be true but in fact it was really just simple and easy and quick!

Start with a fresh bunch of kale:


 Then just wash and cut or tear the leaves from the thick stems:


And season with whatever you fancy! I chose these items :


 I used a teaspoon of olive oil, tablespoon of the veggie topping (Parmesan cheese non dairy style ;) and the Mrs. Dash Italian style. Just toss it all together and get it coated. Then bake it for about 15-20 minutes on 350 degrees or until they are crispy!


Yes they shrink up to nothing. It is funny when I was cutting them I was like wow I have a ton here this is going to be around forever! But when I opened the oven I was like oh no worries it all shrunk up hehe

And the verdict?

I liked them. Not totally crazy about them, kale has a stronger taste than spinach and I adore spinach so I think they could grow on me. And for 1 point for a serving and it made 2 servings I can enjoy them. They were a light crispy snack!

Next time I will try making zucchini chips!

Do you have any kale experiences?

You know? I've yet to jump on the kale chip bandwagon - I can't seem to find it in any of my regular stores, and the idea of kale chips just isn't enough to send me rushing about searching every grocery store I can find for kale! But zucchini - I'd try that! Be sure and let us know how that turns out :)

I have never tried kale. I'm not a big spinach fan tho either. But when you try the zucchini want to know how that turns out. I can do zucchini.

I love them. I thought I'd hate them but I'm addicted. After playing around with some spices I found olive oil and garlic salt taste best. I tried to cut back on sodium and use Mrs. Dash and another time tried seasoned salt but garlic salt is my favorite.
