Easy Kale Chips

Kale is leafy green vegetable, that is very popular due to the nutrients that are contained in this green vegetable. Kale can make a healthy smoothie, stir-fried dishes, and soup, but there is a dish that I enjoy much as a snack instead of potato chips. Depending on the taste of each person, spice seasoning for this chip is as simple as a little oil and salt. Kale is a great snack for health. A whole bunch of kale turned into baked kale chips will disappear in minutes. Therefore, watch for kale on sale when planning to make kale chips.

Ingredients:
One bunch of kale
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
2 tbs melted coconut oil

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash kale and remove the tough stem. Cut kale into bite-size pieces or larger but they should be as uniform as possible. It helps to bake in an even.

Toss kale, salt, and oil well in a bowl.
Place kale on the prepared baking sheet one piece of the time (avoid overlapping kale pieces).
Bake for 10 minutes and then turn over and bake for another 5 minutes.
Let cool and place in a Ziploc bag or glass jar.


Tip:
I baked the first batch using parchment paper and it took more than 15 minutes. The second batch I baked without the parchment paper and it baked in just about 10 minutes. Adjust your baking time but be careful because kale is easy to burn.
I also make my own seasoning salt by combining salt with garlic powder, paprika, and sugar. If you do not have seasoning salt, just use salt. Adjust the saltiness for your liking.
