Super Easy Kale Chips Recipe

Are you looking for a healthy snack that comes together fast? These super easy kale chips are perfect and totally customizable!

So. I love kale chips. I mean, really love them! I’ve heard it’s an acquired taste, but there it is.

You get all the crunchy and saltiness of chips but none of the carbs, and it helps you get your daily greens in – which is my big goal with eating every day. So, kale chips are a triple win.

The problem is that not only are they expensive to buy, they’re loaded with delicious sauces and delicious marinades, but they also negate the low-carb benefit of the kale itself.

The problem with making them is it always seemed like a lot of work.

I mean, you wash the kale, dry it, de-stem it, cut it up, and then work your homemade sauce into it, getting oil and whatnot all over your hands, before finally baking them until crips, only to end up with a pathetic handful of kale chips on your cookie sheet as the end product.

That much work for so little return is not my cup of tea.

So, I quit making kale chips for a while and choked it down raw instead.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good kale salad, but when you make a good kale salad, you end up adding a lot of stuff, which, again, negates the entire reason you’re snacking on kale in the first place – health, and low calorie.

But then, this idea struck me. I haven’t seen it anywhere else, but there must be other people who do it, too.

I had this spray can of coconut oil that I occasionally use to grease pans. I didn’t grow up using sprayable cooking oil, and it’s kind of a new thing for me, which is probably why I don’t use it very often.

Or at least I didn’t use it very often. Lately I’ve been making a couple cookie sheets of kale chips every other day with it.

This cuts down on 95% of the work of making kale chips, and as you’ll see in the video below, it’s soon easy and fast – worth it!

I’ve found these to be the easiest way to eat a large amount of cooked kale, and they’re perfect for the days when I only have a light workout and don’t have much of a carb budget. (I usually opt for a post-workout green smoothie on heavy-lifting days – yum!)
