Kale Chips Recipe
Homemade kale chips are also easy to customize. Keep them simple with salt, pepper and Parmesan, or experiment with garlic, ranch seasoning, nutritional yeast, or your favorite spices. Unlike potato chips, there's no frying required. The key is using just enough oil to lightly coat the kale without weighing it down.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch green kale trimmed and thick centre rib removed
- 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese 30 mL
- Salt and pepper to taste, don't oversalt as Parmesan is salty.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray 2 large baking sheets with vegetable oil.
- Tear the kale leaves into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the oil, Parmesan, and salt and pepper. Using your hands, massage the leaves for about 2 minutes to soften them. Arrange the leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or just until crisp. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Even kids enjoy this crunchy, leafy-green snack. Ask them to join you in the kitchen to help you prepare it. It’s a great way to educate children about this healthy alternative to the standard potato chip.
