Crunchy Kale Chips: A Guilt-Free Snack Adventure

If you’re a fan of salty, crunchy snacks but want to skip the guilt, these kale chips are the answer! Easy to make, light on calories, and super satisfying, they bring all the crispy goodness without the carbs or the “oops, I ate the whole bag” regret.

What You’ll Need (Serves 5)

• 1 bunch of kale, washed, dried, and torn (toss those stems!)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• A dash of salt and pepper (or get creative with your favorite spices!)

Instructions

1. Heat things up – Preheat your oven to 300°F. The lower temp keeps these chips perfectly crispy without burning.
2. Get tossing – In a big bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything’s nicely coated. Use your hands—massaging the kale helps it absorb the oil and flavors.
3. Spread the love – Lay the kale pieces out evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overlapping, so each piece gets that perfect crunch!
4. Bake to perfection – Slide the sheet into the oven and let your kale chips bake for about 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them—once they’re crispy, they’re ready! Pull them out and let them cool for a minute before diving in.
