Nothing beats the satisfying snap of a chip, the saltiness, the crunch; it’s tantalizing just to think about, and you know what they say, “be careful your thoughts for they become your actions.“ Well, no sooner have you thought about something crunchy then you find yourself devouring a bag of something not-so-good for you. That is until you have discovered the secret of all secrets, the holy grail of snacking…. the Kale Chip. Or, as my sister Nathalia Sciotto of Creatively Conscious calls it, “Kale Crack”. The name is aptly given, for you will quickly become addicted to eating this “oh-so-simple” to make treat.
Now I know what you are thinking, but fear not readers, they are…wait for it…. good for you! Seriously. The other fantastic thing about Kale Chips is they have so many possibilities. You can make them sweet, savory, salty, spicy or cheesy! I mean listen to this possibility~ Lime Chili Kale Chips…is your mouth watering? Well it should be!
What makes this one of my favorite recipes to share is that many people have heard the good news of Kale Chips and have bought and devoured them, but those store bought chips, oh dear lord, are they pricey?! It seems strange considering a basic Kale Chip needs only kale, which is pretty darn cheap, olive oil, and salt; but it’s not unheard of to pay eight dollars for five ounces. What is really insane about that price tag is how simple they are to make. Let’s all be honest here: everything. I mean EVERYTHING, tastes better when it’s homemade, and this treat is so easy to make, it is just silly to buy it. Let me put it like this; while you watch a thirty-minute sitcom you could make, bake and be eating these chips!
I know, I know! Shut up and let’s get to this recipe! Here at MY Cooking Spot I am sharing my two favorites today: spicy and cheesy.
You Will Need
- A bunch of kale, any kind will do!
- 1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- For Spicy~ add chili pepper flakes to your degree of spice
- For cheesy~ add a hearty sprinkling of nutrient-rich nutritional yeast
- ~ This can be found in most grocery stores and definitely in all health food stores
Directions
- Wash and thoroughly dry kale
- Cut out or tear out the thick stem
- Cut or tear the leaf into chip size pieces
- Toss with Olive Oil and any seasonings desired
- Bake on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 for 12-15 minutes
- Now this is the hard part: allow to cool before eating!
REPEAT!
Seriously you are welcome!
