Purple Kale Chips
All the health benefits of kale, but baked into a crunchy chip with a pop of color! A perfect snack for babies 6m+, toddlers, kids, and adults. Purple kale contains beta-carotene and other health benefits that you won't find in regular kale!
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale wash and dry completely
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt or other seasoning, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C)
- Make sure your kale is washed and dried completely before continuing with the recipe, or they won't crisp.
- Cut or tear off the stems and any large veins.
- Add dry kale to a bowl. Toss with olive oil.
- If seasoning (I recommend a very small amount of salt, at least) add seasoning and toss.
- Lay kale flat on a parchment lined or greased baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, watching the kale chips closely after 10 minutes to ensure they do not burn.
- Cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you can't find red/purple kale, this recipe will work perfectly for regular green curly kale.
- Your kale might be done in 10-12 minutes, or it might be done in 22-25 minutes. You will want to watch your kale closely after 10 minutes to check for burning.
- Kale does not lose its all of its nutrients when baked into chips! So, eating kale in this form will pack a big nutrient punch.
- This recipe is safe for babies and toddlers.
