Who does that? Well, apparently I do, so because I was craving them for a couple of days and kale was on sale I took a break Wednesday morning and made a batch of tasty kale chips. Frankly, there isn’t an easier recipe around. This kale chip recipe takes Kale, Olive Oil, Salt and Pepper. That’s it. Four simple ingredients and they are done. Easy, peasy lemon squeezy. Dozens of Kale Chip Recipes Kale was on sale this week so I grabbed a huge batch of it and washed it up, then patted it dry and decided to flavour these lightly. There are zillions of ways you could flavour homemade baked kale chips. Garlic? Chilli pepper? Red Pepper flakes? Parmesan cheese or lemon, maybe even lime, can also make a wonderful variation. However, for me I like them super simple and crispy. Mine have got to be crispy or no go. So when you wake up craving kale chips and want a tasty healthy snack to share here you go….Don’t forget this recipe. Don’t think that kale is a taste you can acquire? Give it a shot at least once. You may be surprised. In the past I have found sometimes that raw kale can be gritty so you really have to wash and dry these well before baking them. Nobody likes a gritty texture in their vegetables or food. That just reminds you they once grew in dirt. So start by washing and drying extremely well. Originally I had no idea how simple it was to bake these for snacks. But we once received one of those food subscription boxes and the meal itself also contained a side recipe of baked kale chips. They were so much nicer than I ever imagined and light, as in not overly filling. So, after that original effort I was interested in trying other kale chip recipes and making my own. Now, this is my occasional superfood snack and it’s one I feel good about giving my kids. Tips Trim the stems off with a kitchen  gadget stem remover or rip them off with your hands. Stems are a bit too fibre-y to be part of this snack and be sure to rip into chip sized bites as well as spread them out on a cookie sheet. Then enjoy! Make sure they don’t overlap. For a big batch use 2 to 3 cookies sheets. They shrivel up a bit as they bake, but you don’t want them overlapping or they will be limp when done and not crispy.   These are much better if you eat them all the same day. I have not yet found a way to store them homemade baked kale chips.
