If you've been searching for an easy kale chips recipe, this is it! They're filled with flavour and make a delicious lunch box snack or afternoon snack
I have a slight big weakness for chips. Potato chips. And ya, I know, potato chips are not the best snack out there, but I can't help it, I can never eat just one.
I've been trying to cut back on my chip intake and one thing I like to have as a substitute are these easy kale chips.
Let's get one thing out of the way:
Kale chips are not potato chips and they will never be.
It's like comparing apples and oranges. They're both great in their own different ways and are similar in some, but they are two totally different things.
The main reason why I like reaching for kale chips instead of potato chips is because they have that same similar crunchy texture and salty taste.
Most kale chip recipes call for the oven temperature to be set high and the bake time to be short.
This recipe does not do that, instead, you'll bake it low and slow for the best flavour and to avoid burning them.
The downside to doing it this way is that you'll have to wait longer to enjoy your kale chips. But it's worth it.
It's easy...prepare your kale, put it in the oven and go about doing other things while you wait.
However you decide to spend your waiting time, in the end, you will have a delicious batch of crispy kale chips waiting for you.
Storing Kale Chips
It's always best to eat your kale chips the same day they are made so you get the best taste and crunch, but if you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and eat them within a few days.
This recipe makes a small batch, so you will likely not have many leftovers, if any!
So the next time you're tempted to grab a bag of chips at the store, grab a big bunch of kale instead and make these super easy kale chips. Your body (and your family!) will thank you.
