New Favorite Snack: Kale Chips!


IMG_6798.JPG

I never thought I’d be saying this, but I am in love with kale right now! I’m a somewhat healthy eater but I’m not one to keep very good tabs on health trends. More than anything, I try to eat a balanced diet but I don’t always make the healthiest choices in every situation - especially when it comes to restaurants that serve brunch and pasta 😃 Since my eating habits are more about balance, I always try to incorporate easy-to-make veggies in all of my meals. 

When I came across a recipe for kale chips (and heard that they tasted almost as good as regular chips) I knew I had to give it a whirl - and boy am I glad I did. Kale chips are incredibly easy to make, provide tons of nutrients, satisfy my junk food cravings, and taste delicious to boot! So today, I thought I’d share with you my extremely simple kale chip recipe!

Directions:

  • Keep kale away from hungry kittens! ♡
  • Chop or rip kale into bite size pieces
  • Mix kale, olive oil, and salt in a big mixing bowl making sure to cover all kale evenly in olive oil. I typically put 2-3 Tablespoons of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, adding more salt at the end if needed. I’ve accidentally put too much salt a couple of times so err on the side of caution! 
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees
