Kale Chips


 This recipe is so fun! And its cheap, quick and easy.  I spent approximately 98 cents on this huge bunch of kale. These are a pretty tasty way to get some green into your kids, and are a great replacement for potato chips.

Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • olive oil to taste (I used a generous 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt, a little bit goes a long way but add more to taste
Steps:
  1. Separate leaves from the thick kale stems and break into small pieces. I saved the stems for our compost pile (more on that later!).IMG_0023
  2. Pour tablespoon of olive oil over kale and toss to coat.  Add oil 1 teaspoon at a time until you feel that it is properly coated. Sprinkle with salt to taste. IMG_0025
  3. Spread leaves on a baking sheet.  You can line it with wax paper if you want to.IMG_0027
  4. Bake at 350oF for 10 minutes.  Remove baking sheet and flip kale.  Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until leaves are crispy.IMG_0029
  5. Serve and eat right away!
Timing: 1 year, if crispy, 18 months if they are not 100% crispy.  It might require more teeth and more chewing!
Difficulty: 1 out of 5, super easy, super quick!
Epicutie Rating (see left side of page for rating descriptions):

  • Little Frances is not so sure she likes it… yet! Little Frances initially seemed very into these, especially when I told her they were chips, however I think that I over salted them.  Next time I am going to try them with less salt and maybe a few other seasonings. I think that they would be fun with a little bit of parmesan cheese too!  I thought that they were pretty tasty myself… I am going to work on a salt and vinegar version, yum yum.
  • Little Joy:  Yummy in the Tummy; she asked for a pile of them
  • Little Asher: Confused; he tried very hard to like it but after four bites, he was done.  If at first you do not succeed, try again!

  2. Garlic maybe? I have been wanting to make some of these for a while. It was on my grocery list last week but they were out of stock of kale. Random.
