All I have to say is thank goodness these kale chips are healthy because I haven’t been able to stop eating them! This is actually the second batch I have cooked since yesterday and it looks like I might have to cook another one after I am done writing this post. I’m addicted to this kale chips recipe and the best thing about it is that I feel no guilt! With only one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil used, this crispy snack is virtually fat free and very low in calories as well.

It’s also a lot cheaper to make kale chips at home than buying them in health food stores. The sad truth is eating healthy can end up costing a lot of money if you buy everything pre-made. A bag of kale chips in Brooklyn will cost you upwards of $10 – crazy expensive if you ask me! Especially now that I know how easy they are to make, paying that much money feels like highway robbery! Save your dollars for a nice bottle of wine and instead of buying kale chips, crank up your oven, break off a few leaves, toss them in a little oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and bake for 15 minutes. It’s really that simple!
Kale chips make a great late night snack because they are so light and satisfying. They are also gluten free and vegan friendly. Let the munching begin!
