Kale Chips - Zarra Marlowe, '21

Background

I’m not a great cook, nor do I have a lot of time to cook, but these chips are a fast and cheap way to get vegetables in your system. And they taste good!

Recipe from my amazing mom, a Southern chef at heart.

Equipment

    • Baking sheet

    • Tin foil (optional)

Ingredients

  • Kale, preferably shredded

  • Seasoning of choice (I use Lawry’s seasoned salt and lemon)

  • Olive oil

Instructions

1) First, preheat your oven to 375F or 350F, depending on how well your oven works. If it works well, 350F.

2) Next, lay tinfoil on a baking sheet (or cover the sheet in anti-stick spray).

3) Then, wash your kale, and if you didn’t buy preshredded, shred it. Pieces should be no bigger than two inches, and no wider than an inch.

4) Place the kale all over your baking sheet, evenly-ish spaced out. Drizzle with olive oil.

5) Take your seasoning—I use Lawry’s seasoned salt and some lemon juice—and GENEROUSLY coat the kale. When you think you have enough, add more.

6) Pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes, and take it out when it looks crispy.

7) Enjoy!
