Paleo Kale Chips

RECIPE:

I was in the store the other day and saw kale on sale (see what I did there?) No really it was on sale, and I have heard it is really, really, REALLY good for you, so I picked up a few bundles of it. Once I got home, I looked at it and realized, I have no clue what to do with this stuff....it looks kinda yucky! So a quick internet search and I found some recipes for Kale chips. Not knowing what to expect, I mixed a few recipes together to come up with fast, simple, and delicious (a common theme around here at Whole360) and tried it out. Glad I did, these DO NOT taste what you think they will taste like, and like some other recipes on here, these WILL NOT LAST! Even kids love them, which was a complete shock!

So, get ready for this...I swear its the easiest recipe yet!

Ready to be inhaled!

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of kale
• 2 TBS of olive oil
• Sea salt
• Preferred seasonings (optional) ex. cayenne, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, etc.
  

Equipment needed:

• Oven
• Baking sheet(s)
• parchment paper (optional)
• Mixing bowl
• Tongs or something to mix with
• TBS measuring spoon 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°

Step 2: Wash kale, shake excess water off and remove all the "leafy" greens from the thick stems. Keep separated in to 2 batches.

Step 3: Tear 1 batch of kale in to "bite" sized pieces and put in to mixing bowl.

Step 4: Add 1 TBS of olive oil and mix well. After kale is pretty well coated, sprinkle with sea salt to taste (roughly 1/4 tsp per batch) Add any other seasonings if you would like, and mix well.(again 1/4 tsp will be plenty!)

Step 5: Line baking sheet with parchment paper (if you don't have it just use baking sheet by itself) arrange kale evenly over tray without overlapping.
Step 6: Place in oven for 10-15 minutes until corners are just brown, but not burned. I prefer 15 minutes, but 10 is a good starting point.

Step 7: Remove from oven, and enjoy the crispy delicious goodness known as Paleo Kale Chips!

(I used 2 trays to make it faster, but if you only want to use 1 tray, just repeat steps for 2nd batch of kale.)










Next time I make these, I will likely do 4-6 bunches so they lat a bit longer than 10 minutes! Try them out, and leave a comment below and tell me what you think of them!
