Spiced Kale Chips
Kale and chips do not seem like they’d be related in any way, shape or form, right? Wrong. I am here today to prove to you and your non-kale-loving friends that there is actually an appetizing way to enjoy kale, no joke. You may have noticed I already posted two kale recipes earlier this week and when I am on a roll with an ingredient I keep the recipes flowing. Not to mention when I saw that Whole Foods had a new low price for kale, I bought ALL the kale.
Kale chips are something that might sound intimidating or not appetizing but I can assure they are anything but. First off they are a breeze to make and can be customized with whatever flavor you have on hand that week. They are also tasty because they get crispy and almost melt in your mouth when you eat them. Think of them as the potato chip of dietitians and health nuts. Okay, maybe that’s pushing it but hey a sassy RD can dream, right?
Alright, go grab some kale this week and start cooking. Bring some kale chips with you on the go, to a party or pack them for next week’s lunches. Feel free to add your own flavor and let us know in the comments what worked best for you!
Enjoy!
