Kale
This beautiful cruciferous vegetable has sooo many health benefits!
- Very low calorie, only 36 calories and 20% of your daily fiber for 1 cup!
- Full of antioxidants and phytochemicals that can protect against cancer.
- Extremely high in vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C!
- Includes other minerals including calcium.
Kale is one of the healthiest foods you can eat!
One great way to eat kale is by making chips out of them! They turn out like a super-thin potato chip. Except way better for you! And, like most everything on my blog, they're so easy to make.
Kale Chips
Ingredients:
3 stalks of kale (enough to fill up the baking sheet)
cooking spray (or 1 Tbsp olive oil)
garlic salt or seasoning of choice
sesame seeds
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil (easy clean up!).
Remove the stems from the kale and tear into bite size pieces and place evenly on the baking sheet.
Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Sprinkle your seasoning of choice.
Top with sesame seeds.
Once oven is preheated, cook for about 10 min. You may need to check the time because you don't want to burn them!
They turn out something like this. Nice and crispy.
After I ate these, I wanted more so I made another batch of kale chips with nutritional yeast instead of garlic salt. This gave the chips a cheesy-like taste. Both batches were delicous! Such a perfect healthy snack.
I have this problem where I can't control myself once something is ready to eat... That's why lots of the kale is gone in this picture. Whoops.
Why not try making these next time you want some chips?!
