This weekend, our two families had a big vegetable and fruit fest. We ate the food used for our pictures in the previous blog post “foods to eat to boost skin’s natural sunscreen”. Kale seems to be a vegetable good for everything from Iron intake to augmenting a natural sunscreen. The following recipe is what we did with our Kale. The Kale really came out crispy, and we felt like we were eating chips rather than a leafy green vegetable.

Baked Kale Chips

• 1 bunch of Kale
• wash, dry, remove stems
• coat with olive oil (1-2 tablespoon(s), give or take)
• sea salt, to taste
• place leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet 
• Bake in oven, 300°F, 20 minutes, until crisp but not turning brown

Even if you can’t get your younger toddlers to eat “baked Kale chips”, you might be able to get your older children to partake in making and eating them. You also might get an added, “you sure are creative honey” from the husbands. We served our baked Kale chips on a plate to our husbands while they were watching some soccer games being played from Germany. They looked at us funny but cleared the plate and were asking for more 10 minutes later.

Let us know what you think or if you were successful with getting your family to enjoy baked Kale chips.
