Recipe: Delicious and crispy homemade lemon kale chips
Chips don't have to be an unhealthy snack. These kale chips are healthy and yummy.
Most potato chips on the market are fatty, greasy, and overly processed. But, kale chips are a healthy alternative.
Kale is a superfood packed with lots of vitamins and minerals. These include Vitamin A, Folate, a B vitamin, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc.
What is also nice about kale chips is that they are easy and quick to make.

Method:
- Remove the stem from the kale leaves.
- Tear the leaves into proportional sizes (cut them into a size bigger than the size of the chips you want because they will shrink when you cook).
- Dry the leaves off. You can use a salad spinner if you have one.
- Cover the leaves with oil
- Add salt
- Add lemon
- Add nutritional yeast to make them crispy and cheesy
- Gently massage the leaves and ensure all the leaves are thoroughly covered with all the ingredients.
- Place the greased leaves on a non-stick baking tray.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius until they are crispy. This can take up to 45 minutes.
Enjoy.
