This tasty snack is satisfyingly crunchy, and kale is high in vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and K. Unlike regular potato chips, these are baked with healthy monounsaturated fat, and, at about 153 calories per serving, contain about half the calories of most typical snacks.
Ingredients
- 3 cups kale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions

- Combine garlic powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using) and salt; add to kale and gently mix to coat each piece.
