Kale Chips – Color Me Vegan, pg117

Kale Chips.  You wouldn’t ever think it but they are good.  I had my 12 year old nephew Chase over recently and we made them together.  We filled 2 baking trays up with kale goodness and when we pulled them from the oven – they lasted maybe all of 5 minutes.  Between my nephew, my brother, and my husband they disappeared instantly.  I was really impressed with Chase and how he wanted to try them.  I’ve been making these for awhile and always use the same combo as Colleen – curly kale, sea salt, olive oil,nutritional yeast and a bit of chili powder.  Sometime I use garlic salt or garlic powder.  They are delicious all of the time.  My Mom tried them awhile back and loves them too.  I have eaten them without the nutritional yeast but prefer them with it – gives it a nice light cheesy flavour.  The only thing to note about baking them is to really watch them….they go from slightly wilty to crispy in a short period of time and then from crispy to burnt in seconds.  I always look at mine at the 10 minute mark – some are done so I take them out and then watch then every minute thereafter.  Usually all done by the 13 minute mark.

Eliot loves loves loves these kale chips – hence me posting his picture.  On that day we had a couple of girls over playing with our daughters and I know see that they managed to ‘sticker’ him up with some princess stickers.  I believe that’s Princess Aurora on his shirt – he wears it proudly.
