GARLIC PARMESAN KALE CHIPS

I will be honest and admit that I've never had kale before this recipe. The stuff kind of scared me, tbh. Even still, I know kale is so good for you so I decided to give it a try. I initially bought this veggie for a smoothie that I made (post on that later!) but since the bag was pretty big I wanted to be sure I didn't let it go to waste. I went to Pinterest (duh) for easy kale recipes and found this! Not only are they SO INCREDIBLY EASY (only 5 ingredients!) to make but these are a really tasty and crunchy snack alternative for chips or other junk food. The garlic and parmesan adds a salty kick, which I love. Overall, I approve of kale!

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

•  4 cups of Kale leaf, torn into about 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch pieces (pieces will shrink after being baked)
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 tsp grated Parmesn cheese
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• Parchment Paper (I used aluminum foil because that's all I had and it worked just fine)

Note: I would say this recipe only makes enough for 1 serving. I would probably double the ingredients to make a bigger batch next time. Also, next time I think I will sprinkle fresh parmesan on top!

INSTRUCTIONS:

•  Place kale pieces into large bowl and hand toss with Olive Oil 
• Spread out over a baking sheet lined with Parchment Paper 
• Sprinkle Kale with Parmesan Cheese, Garlic Powder, and Salt
• Bake at 300 degrees for about 25 minutes
• Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!
