We are loving these Lemon Kale Chips. I can't make enough of them --the boys scarf them down hot out of the oven. Yesterday, they ate 3 batches, yes you heard that right, 3 batches of kale chips, after school. Of course, like everything else I make, these are gluten free.

You can use curly kale (as in the photo above), or dino (lacinto) kale or any other type. My boys say it is best with the curly kale.

Makes 4 servings (for those who have willpower)

Ingredients: 
1 bunch kale (prepared and washed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt

Instructions: 
  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Chop kale into ½ inch pieces
  3. Place kale in a large bowl
  4. With hands massage oil, lemon juice and salt into kale
  5. Place kale on parchment lined baking sheet
  6. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes until kale is dark green and crispy
  7. Cool and serve

I will have to try these for

I will have to try these for sure! I also have a kale chip recipe from my friend, Jen I am going to try. We have started a Paleo (Paleolithic) Diet and kale is our #1 leafy veggie. We no longer consume any dairy or grains, just meat, veggies (lots!), nuts and seeds, fruit (some), little starch, NO sugar. Kale is high in calcium too! Kale is rated 1000 (highest score) on the Whole Foods ANDI scale =)for nutrient density.
