Kale Chips

Looking for a healthy snack?? Kale Chips - The crunch of potato chips for ZERO POINTS!

Kale is a form of cabbage which is very high in beta-carotene, vitamin-K, vitamin-C, lutein, and rich in calcium. Kale contains sulforaphane, which is a chemical containing potent anti-cancer properties. Boiling will decrease the potency, by baking it as in this recipe you will not lose a significant amount!

Pre-heat oven to 350, Take 1 head of Kale (leaves only, discard stems) torn into pieces, spread onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, Spray with cooking spray tossing to coat, sprinkle with Sea Salt. Bake for 10-15 min until crispy, they will shrink down...keep checking after the first 10 so they don't burn! Thank you to my sister Ashley Parsells for this yummy snack idea!
