Let's talk about kale chips!

4/1/2019

​If your go-to snack is a handful of potato chips, you probably already know it’s not a healthy choice.  The good news, however, is that kale chips can satisfy your craving for something crunchy without all of the saturated fat and sodium in their potato counterparts.  And best of all, kale chips are simple to make at home so you can always have a nutritious snack on hand.
 
Besides being full of antioxidants, kale is also an excellent source of nutrients.  The leafy green vegetable contains vitamin C which helps to keep your skin, bones, tendons and ligaments healthy.  The dark green colour of kale chips also signifies the presence of vitamin A which is essential for eye health.  And finally, kale contains vitamin K which enables blood to clot normally.
 
Though some supermarkets and health food stores sell pre-packaged kale chips, these tend to be high in sodium.  Making your own kale chips is a great alternative because you can take control of how salty they are.  Below is a recipe created by Team Inspired member, Kim Tune.  This fantastic recipe makes 6 servings with only 88 calories, 4.2 grams of saturated fat and 334.5 milligrams of sodium per serving.  Try it out and let us know what you think!
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered ranch dressing
 
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Chop kale into half-inch pieces.
  3. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and massage the coconut oil, lemon juice and sea salt into the kale using your hands.
  4. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes.
