Kale Chips


Kale is a highly nutritious vegetable that is in season in Southern California right now. It provides powerful antioxidant properties, as it is one of best sources of betacarotene. Kale actually helps detoxify the body of harmful chemicals. It is also very high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. So enjoy and have no fear over overindulging!

Kale Chips
Atleast one bunch of curly kale
Olive Oil
Sea Salt

1. Wash kale in cold water and dry thoroughly
2. Tear leaves off of the stalk and into chip-size pieces
3. Spread out kale leaves on a slightly oiled baking pan and spray olive oil evenly over kale pieces
4. Generously season with salt
5. Bake for 20 minutes at 250 degrees or until dry and crispy
6. Turn leaves over a few times while in the oven to ensure even baking

Thanks Susan for this delicious recommendation!

  3. a kale chip tip...do not store in anything plastic! The chips will become soggy. I have either kept mine in a bowl on the counter ('cause basically they don't last very long!) or in a paper lunch bag.
