    Spicy Kale Chips and Yogurt Dip from 5DollarDinners.com

    I was not that fond of kale and initially only grew it in our garden to supplement our guinea pigs’ and bearded dragon’s diet. When it continued to grow throughout our harsh winters filled with snow and below freezing temperatures producing more than our pets could consume, I developed a new respect for its resilience and grudgingly added it to my diet. I used it primarily as a substitute for spinach and chard. It was not until I discovered that I could make chips with kale that I began to truly appreciate this healthy vegetable.

    Alea's Spicy Kale Chips and Yogurt Dip

    Prep Time5 minutes
    Cook Time12 minutes
    Servings - 4 persons

    Ingredients 

    • 1 bunch of kale (8 12 large leaves)
    • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    • Wash and dry the kale. Tear into ~ 2 x 2 pieces, avoiding the large ribs.
    • Place kale pieces in a large bowl, drizzle oil over the kale and toss to ensure the pieces are coated.
    • In a small bowl, combine the spices.
    • Sprinkle the spices over the kale, taking time to toss occasionally so the spices are evenly distributed.
    • Place kale on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 15 minutes or until the kale is crispy.

    My daughter says that she “refuses to think of these as healthy chipsâ€. She prefers to think of them as “an unhealthy saladâ€. I hate to burst her bubble, but with only 1 tablespoon of olive oil for the entire bunch of kale, it is much healthier than most salads. I have decided not to explain this to her, instead I allow her her fantasy and tell her to live on the wild side and add some dip.

      I need to try this… the only thing I ever use kale for is the Dutch stamppot which is basically kale and mashed potatoes.

      The only problem I have with Kale Chips, is there are never enough =( The 2yo and I can go through a batch in one day (normally 2 large bunches before baking). I also like ours with a little bit of balsamic vinegar or Braggs ACV.

        Thanks for the idea! I have both balsalmic vinegar and Bragg’s on hand. I will have to give them a try with the next batch.

      We made kale chips for the first time last week and my 9-year-old LOVED them!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
