Ah, kale chips - the snack that's as healthy as it is delicious. And, if you're part of the kale-hating club, it's time to quit it. If you're looking for a way to satisfy your cravings while still staying on track with your weight loss goals, then you'll definitely want to give these crispy, flavorful chips a try.
But why are kale chips so great for weight loss, you might ask? Well, for one thing, kale is an incredibly nutrient-dense vegetable. It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are essential for good health. Plus, it's low in calories and high in fiber, which makes it an excellent choice for those trying to shed a few pounds.
But let's be honest, kale can be a tough sell for some people. It's not exactly the most exciting vegetable out there. That's where these kale chips come in. By roasting kale in the oven until it's crispy and seasoned with your favorite herbs and spices, you end up with a snack that's just as addictive as potato chips, but without all the guilt.
And the best part is, making kale chips is super easy. All you need is a bunch of kale, some olive oil, and a few seasonings of your choice. From there, it's just a matter of baking the kale until it's nice and crispy. But don't just take our word for it.
Give this recipe a try and see for yourself how delicious and satisfying kale chips can be. And who knows, you might just find yourself reaching for these crunchy little snacks instead of reaching for the bag of greasy chips next time you're feeling peckish.

Ingredients
- 25-121 large bunch of kale, tough stems removed, leaves cut/torn into pieces (about 16 cups)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position racks in the upper third and center of the oven.
- If the kale is moist, thoroughly pat it dry with a clean dishtowel before transferring it to a large bowl. Salt and oil should be drizzled over the kale. To uniformly distribute the oil and salt on the kale leaves, knead them with your hands.
- Make sure to evenly distribute the kale leaves on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Make the chips in batches if all of the kale does not fit.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through until most of the leaves are crisp. (If only using one baking sheet, check after 8 minutes to avoid scorching.)
