Kale Chips

I've heard about Kale Chips for a little while now, but never really had the Kale in the house to begin with. So this weekend we were able to source some from the local markets, and what's the first thing I do with it? Not make a boring old salad... but make chips! The wonderful thing about kale chips is that the bitter taste is no longer so overpowering. They really are like chips! You keep going in for more. As they say.... once you pop you can't stop!

Kale is potent source of vitamins A,K, C, fiber and carotenes. It also contains 45 different flavanoids with a variety of anti-inflammatory & antioxidant effects.



Ingredients:
1 bunch kale
Celtic sea salt
Olive Oil/Garlic infused oil

Method:
Pre heat oven to 130 degrees. Wash the kale, and dry throughly.
Remove stems, and roughly chop the kale leaves into large-ish pieces (they shrink when in the oven). Toss with olive oil in a bowl, and sprinkle with sea salt.
Arrange leaves in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins until crisp.

❤  Crunchy tips: Make sure the kale is dry. Try not to overlap the leaves on the tray. Bake at a lower temperature for longer (think Dehydrator).
