Our family just doesn’t eat a lot of lettuce.  I’ve gotten pretty great at adding spinach in to pretty much anything–from smoothies to quesadillas–but it takes us awhile to use up lettuce.  So when kale came with our new CSA basket, I knew I had to get creative.  (especially since we don’t have chickens to feed it to! lol)  I’ve been hearing about kale chips, so I thought I’d look that up.  I am so glad I did!  Even Tristan (our family Mikey–remember those old Life cereal commercials?) loves them and couldn’t wait to tell Daddy about the lettuce that tastes like potato chips!

Even better–it’s SUPER easy to make kale chips!

 

Just cut the middle stem out, leaving the leafy edges.

Put in a bowl and pour in a little bit of olive oil.  I put the lid on the bowl and shook it around to coat the leaves with the oil.

Put on a baking sheet, shake on a little sea salt, and bake for about 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven.

Amazing!  They DO taste like potato chips–what a great, healthy snack!

 

We gobbled them up!
