Kale Chips


Serves 8 / These mineral-rich, pop-in-your-mouth crunchies are a low-carb alternative to popcorn, potato chips, or french fries. The winning formula? Salty, sour, and sweet.

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 teaspoon salt

1½ teaspoons garlic powder

⅛-¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 medium bunch kale (12 ounces), washed, stemmed, and chopped into 1-inch pieces

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place rack in center of oven.
  2. Whisk all ingredients except kale in a small dish. Place kale in a large bowl and toss with dressing to coat. Spread kale onto a large baking sheet in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches). Bake for 8-10 minutes. Toss chips with a wooden spatula and return to oven for another 7-8 minutes, until crispy throughout.
