Overview

Kale Chips are a crunchy and nutritious alternative to traditional potato chips. They are particularly popular among health enthusiasts for their low carbohydrate content and high vitamin and mineral value.

Ingredients

• Fresh kale leaves, washed and dried
• 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil
• Salt and seasonings of choice (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). 2. Remove the stems from the kale leaves and tear them into bite-sized pieces. 3. In a large bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive or coconut oil, ensuring each leaf is lightly coated. 4. Spread the kale evenly on a baking sheet, ensuring the leaves aren't overlapping. 5. Sprinkle with salt and desired seasonings. 6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through to ensure even cooking. 7. Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve as a standalone snack or alongside a keto dip such as keto hummus or avocado sauce.
• Crumble over keto salads for added crunch.

Nutritional Value

Kale is known for its high vitamin K, vitamin C, and antioxidant properties. When baked into chips, it provides a low-carb, nutrient-dense snacking option.

Variations

• Spicy Kale Chips: Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or chili powder before baking.
• Cheesy Kale Chips: Sprinkle with nutritional yeast before baking for a dairy-free "cheesy" flavor.
