Description

Kale chips on their own are a pretty good texture relief from your typical 'diet food,' This recipe adds lime and chili powder to the mix bringing a downright exotic feel to the mix. The serving size is small, but satisfying.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F / 176 C. Make sure the kale is dry; if it is not, it will steam rather than crisp in the oven. 

  2. In a large bowl, toss kale pieces with olive oil and coarse salt; you may need to do this in 2 batches. Massage the oil onto each kale piece until the oil is evenly distributed and the kale glistens. Spread the kale out on 2 17-by-12-inch baking sheet (or do this in batches). Bake the kale chips until the leaves look crisp and crumble, about 12-16 minutes. If they are not ready, bake for another 2 to 6minutes. 

  3. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Sprinkle with the lime zest, sea salt and chile powder to taste.
