Kale Chips



Kale chips is a tasty and healthy snack. People might wonder if all nutrients are lost when you bake it. The answer is yes and no :) Kale is very rich on vitamin K, important for heart, blood clotting and bones. Vitamin K does not get affected by the heat. Kale is also rich on beta-carotene (vitamin A) and vitamin C .  These vitamins are susceptible to heat but they can be found in big quantities in Kale so after baking it, there still will be some left. Kale is also rich in Calcium and Iron.
What I like about Kale chips is that it's very easy and fast to prepare. My son loves it which makes it a perfect snack between meals.


Ingredients:

1 Bunch Kale
2-3 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea salt (to taste)


Preheat oven to 350F . Tear the leaves into pieces and spread on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle olive oil (make sure its'spread out evenly) and sea salt . Bake for 5-7 min or until crispy but not burned. Voila!
