I found a recipe for kale chips and OMG they are delicious!! I can't stop eating them...and I love that I don't have to feel slightest built guilty!!

Even if you don't like greens, you have to try this!! It satisfies that craving for something salty and/or crunchy!

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Take a bunch of kale and rinse and dry well.
Chop into pieces.

Put into a bowl and sprinkle with 1-2 tsp of olive oil.

Spread on cookie sheet.

Sprinkle with lightly with sea salt and garlic powder (or whatever seasoning you like).

Bake for about 18-25 minutes until crispy!

Seriously, it's addictive!!

    I just discovered these this week too! So yummy!

    Raw kale is about 50 calories for 100 grams. I weigh it out on my scale and about 75 grams was plenty for me. The olive oil is another 60 calories for 1/2 tbsp. Tasty and low cal snack!

    I built the recipe in the recipe builder here and this is what I came up with...

    Per 1 cup serving -

    56 calories
    7 grams carb
    3 grams fat
    2 grams protein
    1 gram fiber
    229 gram sodium

    I used 4 cups of raw kale, 2 tsp EVOO, .5 tbsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp sea salt.

    I love kale chips.

    I find the only way they are dry enough is if I wash the kale the night before before making them....

    Okay, when I tried to make kale chips they were very bitter. Any suggestions? Jacques Pepin recommends a much lower temperature setting...maybe I'll try that.

    Pro-tip, if they are still floppy and not crisp, do not eat.

    i actually did mine at like 350 for 12 or so?

    I made them for the first time the other night. I used the same method as above, then with about 5 minutes left I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on them . Very good.
