Kale Chips

I made these on a bit of whim yesterday, with a medium-sized bunch of kale ("dino" variety) that was in the fridge waiting to be used. Kale chips aren't anything new - I've seen quite a few different recipes and techniques for making them (My mom makes kale chips in her dehydrator)  - though this was my first time to make them myself.

First I washed the kale and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Then after comparing a couple of different recipes for baked kale chips, I simply eyeballed it, and added salt, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and olive oil to the kale, using my hands to mix it all together and coat the kale with the seasonings.

I baked these in the oven at 350, for about 14 minutes. They came out crispy and salty, and the kids couldn't get enough of them. I think next time I'll use less oil and salt (really, these had too much). This version certainly isn't the healthiest way to make kale chips, but it's still a good way to get kids eating kale!
