Kale chips – what could be easier and healthier? An addictive and nutritious snack that is that rare instance of something being good for you and tasting great too.
Let’s mix it up a little bit with the addition of sage salt (from a recipe by Melissa Clark).
- 5oz mixed kale (black, green, purple), washed, cut, and dried
- 1 T olive oil
- 2 large sage sprigs (about 8 leaves)
- 1 t coarse sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Toss kale leaves in olive oil so everything is well coated. Layer right on a large baking sheet. Place the sage leaves next to the kale.
3. Bake sage for about 10 minutes and remove. Bake kale until crispy but still vivid green (purple etc.), about 15 minutes.
4. Crumble sage in a small bowl and mix with the coarse salt. Sprinkle salt over the kale.

It is THAT easy. Just make sure the kale is dry so it gets really crispy and add the salt or any other seasonings at the end!

I have never heard of being able to make kale chips, fantastic since kale is so good for us! I tried to use kale a few times but not too successfully… this would be so appealing to my family!
