A calling for Kale Chips

Browsing the aisles of Noah's one day, I stumbled upon kale chips. I've never been a chip kind of gal, but i was willing to try it. After just one bite, i was hooked. Crunchy, good flavour and a leafy green, all in one!!!

Kale, is from the cabbage family. It is loaded with nutrients. It is a great source of beta carotene, a good source of vitamin k, vitamin c, and rich in calcium.

Of course, when its cooked, it loses some of its nutritional value. But still, its much better than grabbing a bag of potato chips or pretzels.

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner.
   
3. Drizzle kale with oil, several options : olive oil, hemp seed oil, pumpkin seed oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
4. Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.

If you don't have time to make them, Noah's Natural Foods offers a selection of different flavored kale chips. Prices range from $4 and up.

Kale caution: Kale contains goitrogen which can interfere with thyroid gland functioning.
