Kale is one of the most nutritious greens out there, I swear it! Read about its cleansing benefits below and get baking ;)
Kale Crisps
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1-2 bunches of kale
olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Remove kale from stalk, leaving the greens in large pieces.
3. Place a little olive oil in a bowl, and rub (with fingers!) over the kale. Add as much or as little sea salt as you’d like.
4. Lay kale out on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes or until it starts to turn a bit brown. Keep an eye on the kale, it can burn quickly. The crisps can go from hunter green to black in a flash! Use an even lower temperature if you want to play it safe.
5. Turn the kale over and bake with the other side up.
6. Remove ENJOY!
Variations:
Try different kinds of kale or collard greens. You can sprinkle with a little salt or spice such as curry or cumin after rubbing on olive oil for a little added flavor. I also try them with vinegar to make salt and vinegar crisps. YUM!

Benefits
Green is associated with spring - a time of renewal and refreshing, vital energy. In oriental medicine, green is related to the liver, emotional stability and creativity. Nutritionally, greens are very high in calcium, with 120 to 190 mg per cup. They’re also high in magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous and zinc, and are a powerhouse for vitamins A, C, E and K. In addition, they are full of fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll and many other micronutrients and phytochemicals.
