Kale chips
Cook time: 35 minutes
Kale is often called a super food because of its nutritional value and density. It’s high in fiber, calcium, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. It’s also rich in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin. All together, eating kale reduces the risk for heart disease, macular degeneration, obesity, and more.
2 bunches of fresh kale
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings of your choice (optional)
Wash the kale and pat dry. Make sure to remove as much water from the surface as you can.
Remove the stems and discard. Rip the leaves into chip-sized pieces and put into a bowl.
Add the olive oil and toss. Add the seasonings and toss. (Other seasonings you can use to customize the recipe to your liking include zata’ar, lemon pepper, chili powder, etc.)
Take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. Spread the kale onto the sheet evenly with minimal overlap.
Bake for 25 minutes at 300 degrees fahrenheit. If the chips are not fully crispy by this time, turn the oven off and let them sit for an additional 10 minutes.
Add kale chips to a bowl and enjoy immediately.
