Sesame Kale Chips

I get really excited when I find or create a super healthy recipe that my boys love as well. The recipe that I am about to share is one of those! These delicious kale chips are so easy to make and the taste and texture are so perfect! And super healthy! I began making these a few years ago as part of a cleanse that I was doing and have continued to make them ever since. In fact, the summer of 2012, Gavin (Gavin’s Garden) grew and sold kale at his farmers market stand (Prairie Street Farmers Market) and I had printed lots of copies of this recipe for customers and I know for a fact that a several got hooked on these tasty treats! I have heard of others trying to make kale chips but complaining of burning them. This is a fool proof recipe. I have done some research and found that many other kale chip recipes use a much higher over temperature and a shorter cook time, leading to a burned flavor. Give these great snacks a try! You may get hooked!

Sesame Kale Chips

Ingredients

1 large bunch kale, stems removed and torn into 2 inch pieces 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup sesame seeds sea salt

*I recommend using all organic ingredients

Directions Heat oven to 200 degrees. In a large bowl combine kale, oil, juice, sesame seeds. Sprinkle with sea salt and mix with hands until coated evenly. Transfer to a couple cookie sheets. Be sure to only put the kale in a single layer.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and flip kale leaves over with a rubber or plastic spatula. Return to oven and continue baking until kale is dry, crisp and crunchy. About another 30 minutes. Enjoy warm or room temperature!

If you actually have any left for storage they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days! ENJOY. Be Healthy. Be Well.
