Kale Chips

This is a great snack recipe I found in a September 2010 Parents magazine.  You want to use organic kale as conventional is high in pesticide residue.  Kale is rich in vitamins A and C as well as being an antioxidant and any clever way you can sneak some into your diet is well worth it. We put raw kale into red sauces and simmer them down until they’re soft. This year we will try growing some in our garden. Can’t wait!

Bunch kale (washed and dried)

2 Tb olive oil

2 Tb lemon juice

1/4 tsp sea salt

couple sheets of parchment paper

Preheat oven to 350 and chop kale into 1/2″ pieces. Place in large bowl, adding oil, lemon juice and salt. Have your pint size helper massage seasonings onto kale then place on parchment covered baking sheet. Bake up to 15 minutes or until dark green and crisp.  Cool and serve!
