Kale Chips


"What to do with all this kale?", I said. Well, I have been eyeing this easy recipe for Kale Chips for quite some time now, and I finally decided to stick those puppies in the oven with a little oil, apple cider vinegar, and sea salt. Voila! Fabulously satisfying kale chips. I swear they taste just like a potato chip, but without the grease and guilt.

Now, some of you may be wondering what kale is, and all I can explain to you is that it is a green leafy veggie that is often used as garnish in salad bars and such. Unbeknown to many, kale is very delicious when it's cooked and also vey nutritious. According to mercola.com:
  • Kale eases lung congestion and is beneficial to the stomach, liver and immune system
  • It contains lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eyes from macular degeneration
  • It also contains indole-3-carbinol, which may protect against colon cancer
  • Kale is an excellent source of calcium, iron, vitamins A and C, and chlorophyll
