kale chips

I have been wanting to make kale chips.  I saw them at the grocery store and they were quite expensive! So I decided to make them at home.  I adapted the recipe from many different sites and blogs.

kale chips:
1 bunch organic kale (washed and dried very well)
1T olive oil
salt
any other spices for flavor (chili pepper, cayenne, lemon, vinegar, garlic powder...)
Organic Kale

 Tear kale into pieces and try to avoid the tough stalk.  Drizzle kale with olive oil and spices

bake kale at 35- for 12-15 min (until crunchy)

take out and enjoy!

I think Asher would have liked it if he tried it but he won't touch anything green these days

After eating most of it I added to rest to my chili in place of tortilla chips and it was sooooo yummy!!

I'm telling you these are super good.  I don't know how well they save since I ate all of them.  They literally dissolve in your mouth (they would be great for toddlers!).  And are a great alternative snack if you are trying to eat healthy.  Did you know that kale is said to be one of the healthiest food in the world?!?  As I was looking for recipes and reading about kale chips I noticed that many people grind these up and add them to pop corn.  I am going to have to try that next.  I really hope you try these and tell me what you think. Oh and make sure you really dry the kale in the beginning.  Mine was a little wet still and those pieces came out a little chewy.
PS.  sorry my pics are weird I was playing with my phone camera and didn't think I would be posting them :)
