Crunchy, Salty and Healthy? SOLD!

Ok so here it is, the first recipe! it may sound TOO healthy but it is a real crowd favorite. My good friend from college, Amy, introduced me to kale chips. Last summer she went to a retreat in Quebec where she learned all about the wonders of permaculture as well as the benefits of a raw food diet. Lucky for us she shared this recipe. It is so simple and so delicious. If you are patient and have a dehydrator it is a wonderful option but if not, you can use your oven. I like quick snack so... I am more of an oven person.

Sea Salt and Pepper Kale Chips

1-2 bunches of  fresh kale (any kind will do)
Olive oil
Sea salt (Himalayan pink sea salt is a healthful option)
Black Pepper

Massage kale with olive oil being sure to breakdown all the little fibers. After kale is fully coated, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Place in the dehydrator OR put in the oven on 300F for 25-30 minutes. When it's crunchy it's ready. You might want to add a little more sea salt and pepper.

This recipe is super easy to tailor to your taste. Switch it up with hot sauce or lemon and Parmesan cheese. Tres Bon!
