Some tasty kale chips

I’ve been looking for snack foods lately that aren’t chocolate and I happened upon a recipe for kale chips from 28cooks. Very tasty stuff! They’re thin and wafer-y but have enough crunch to remind you of a potato chips. Instead of apple cider vinegar, we used red wine vinegar. I found rubbing the oil/vinegar mix onto the kale itself actually more evenly spread it than tossing alone did.

We used three large kale leaves to make about 40 or so chips and promptly ate them within minutes. I’ve still got another 3 leaves left so I may make some more tonight or just wait until tomorrow to make a batch. I highly suggest trying them.

   Hmmm, I might have to give those a try. I’ve had fried spinach at a couple of restaurants, but it always seemed bland and too greasy. This sounds like it keeps a little more of the substance of the greens.

   Our chips were a tad too salty for my liking but that was due to me using too much kosher salt overall, I added a pinch too many. The chips were definitely not overly greasy and had a nice flat texture that was both palatable and easy to grab. I’m very interested in trying to expand the recipe to more traditional potato chip flavours that I enjoy such as lime and black pepper. But I will definitely be making them again as they were a cheap healthy alternative snack food.
