Not only is this oven baked kale chips recipe healthy, but it’s also quick and easy to make. Your kids will enjoy helping you to make this just as much as they’ll enjoy sitting down to eat.

I know there are many brands out there, but I can almost guarantee that after you make your own kale chips, you’ll never want to eat the store-bought ones ever again!

The only thing is, you HAVE to eat them straight out of the oven. It sounds like a lot to eat a whole bunch of kale, but would you believe me if I told you that my almost four-year old eats almost the entire bunch by himself? He absolutely loves these, which makes me super happy.

This is a very basic recipe made from fresh kale, and you can build on it simply by adding spices and other flavors such as garlic powder, chilli powder, cumin, and cayenne, just to name a few.

You can also add nutritional yeast, soy sauce and nut butters.

For super spicy chips, I like to coat my kale with a modified version of the Green Dragon Salad Dressing by Truth Calkins. I have to warn you, using only this dressing will result in extreme hot temperatures in your mouth. To avoid that you can dilute the dressing with more olive oil to cool it down a bit.
