No Cook Kale Chips – Healthy Summer Snack

Ingredients

• 1 head kale, washed and shake to dry
• Spray olive oil
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.

Remove the ribs from the kale and cut or tear into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and spray with the olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp,turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food.

Alturnatively keep the heat out of the kitchen and put the stifling heat in the car to good use.

I placed the baking dish on my dashboard of my car. I had planned to check on it after a couple of hours but forgot until it was time to pick the children up from camp at 3pm. The chips were crispy and delicious, I put the baking tray on the rear seat to bring in when we got home.

In the 10 mins it took to drive home, 2 children ate the entire tray! 

Bonus – their mouths were too busy crunching to indulge in their favorite game of winding each other up, I didn’t even mind that I could barely hear the radio over the crunching!
