Who DOESN'T love Kale?

Kale is one of those super delicious bitter leafy greens that is great no matter how you prepare it... one of my favorite ways is in the form of kale "chips." The healthiest way to make kale chips is in a food dehydrator (I recommend the Excalibur Dehydrator because the nutrients are not lost baking.  That said, not everyone has the counter space for a dehydrator so the next best thing (in my mind) is slow roasted kale.

Set your oven on 200 degrees. To prepare the kale, you rinse it thoroughly (nasty dirt and grit gets stuck in the crevices of this lovely green) in a salad spinner making sure to dry it completely.  Once it's dry, toss it in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil (cold pressed), sea salt, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes.  Place the kale in one layer on a baking sheet and slowly roast it until it's crunchy (about 49-50 minutes)

This makes a fantastic and satisfying snack for kids and adults alike - and it's super healthy to boot!
