Kale Chips


Ah Kale, yet another thing that I didn't know about until turning vegan. Yummy Yummy Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. You can put it in anything and it has a permanent place in my nightly love, smoothies.

So when I found this recipe I was really excited and I think that you will be too. Its simple and fast.

Ingredients:

1 bunch of Kale, de-stemmed and torn into pieces
1 table spoon of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Pre-heat your oven at 350 degrees while you take all of the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. You can also add different seasonings if you want for your own flavor of chip!

Spread them out on a baking tray and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until crispy and chip like.

Okay - be honest with me. By and large, I am not on the cooked leafy greens boat. I prefer them raw, though I can get down with some chard, and I know that kale is a likewise tougher green, but... is it tasty? I mean, baked kale. Is the texture gross? Does it look wilted and yuck? I really must know, and I'm sure you won't lie to me!

Kind of an insane comment right? <333

Lol to be honest I have used Kale in many things including smoothies for the iron. It took me some time to get used to the texture of this but I have been experimenting and adding some spices really helps!
