After two years straight of getting to watch the Seahawks play in the Super Bowl, Sunday just wasn’t quite the same. My parents and I started a tradition about two years ago of eating kale chips every Sunday while we watch football, which we continued this weekend when I was back at home.
Kale chips are way healthier than regular potato chips and if properly seasoned, they are just as delicious. I never buy them pre-packaged in the store because they are usually expensive and don’t even taste very good.
I already had seasonings and olive oil, so I only spent $2.29 at Trader Joe’s on a huge bag of kale for this snack. Here’s what you’ll need:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400.Step 2: Rinse the kale and dry it with a paper towel.Step 3: In a mixing bowl combine the kale, oil and seasonings. Mix it well so that everything is distributed evenly and let it set while the oven preheats.Step 4: Cook for about 15 minutes. Depending on how much kale you use, you may want to cook it longer.If you’ve never cooked with kale before, it is similar to spinach; it cooks down really quickly, you could use half of a bag and it probably wouldn’t be too much. This makes a healthy and quick snack for game day or after class. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
