Description
Spicy kale chips are the ultimate snack. Not only do you get the health benefits of kale, but you have the choice of two dressings.
Ingredients
Scale
Kale:
- 1 bunch curly kale, washed and chopped, ribs removed
Indian Spice Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- zest of 1 orange
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon cumin
OR Chipotle Spice Dressing:
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 275 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients from your choice of dressing together until smooth.
- In a large bowl, pour the dressing over the chopped kale. Massage the dressing into the kale so all parts are covered with dressing and the leaves turn a darker, shiny green.
- Spread the kale evenly on the cookie sheets. Make sure the leaves aren’t overlapping. This prevents sogginess.
- Bake the chips for 15 minutes and rotate the cookie sheets front to back and top to bottom.
- Bake for another 15 minutes and check for crispness. If the chips aren’t crisp yet, rotate the cookie sheets again and bake for 5-10 minutes more.
- Allow the chips to cool for about 5 minutes on the cookie sheets, and then enjoy.
Notes
