I would say that these are a great addition if you’re hosting friends or family, but honestly, you don’t need to have people coming over to make these worthwhile. Even if they are just for you they are 100% worth the time for the yumminess!

The thing about these kale chips as that they are incredibly moorish and delicious AND they are healthy.

They do come with a warning though…

It’s likely that it is likely you will eat them all from the baking tray before they make it to a serving dish!

I know, call me crazy baby. But it’s true! They never have in my house.

As the chef of my house, I’m also in love with these because they only have four ingredients. Plus they couldn’t be simpler to make.

These are a fantastic healthy snack and really quick to make. They are light to eat and low calories yet rich with nutrients and protein.

Substitutions

If you like spicy food, then grab the chilli flakes and add some when you add the nutritional yeast.

If you have vegan parmesan then this can be used in place of nutritional yeast.

Feel free to customize with herbs and spices. Some ideas to try could be cayenne pepper, garlic or avocado oil.

This yummy snack is rich in fiber, protein, vitamin C, calcium, vitamin K and B vitamins.

According to Healthline, calcium plays several important roles for healthy teeth and bones. In the bloodstream it is also good for sending nerve signals, releasing hormones like insulin and is even good for your muscles.

Vitamin C reduces the risk of chronic diseases and boosts antioxidant levels and immunity.

This snack is LOADED with B vitamins. These are wonderful for your cell growth, energy levels, good eyesight, healthy brain function and for good digestion.

According to Harvard, vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones. It is found throughout the body including the liver, brain, heart, pancreas, and bone.

Method

When you’re separating the kale from the stems, on way to do this to maximize the amount of kale is to cut almost down the stems longways to split the leaves off. It’s also faster than plucking them off.

When placing the kale mixture onto a baking tray, be sure to spread it out and not have kale overlapping, this will ensure each piece has the room to cook as it should and is important for your crispiness factor!

Top Tip

Kale chips are all about the crispiness! I had to go through a few attempts before cracking it. It’s important not to use too much oil. Less is more. If your kale isn’t wet with oil when it comes out of the oven, then you should find you will have optimum crispiness.
