Kale Chips Recipe for College Grads

As a college grad, one of my favorite snacks to make at home is kale chips. Not only are they really easy (and quick) to make, but also they are very healthy. They’re crunchy and salty like potato chips, but kale is high in nutrition and low in calories. Not only are they high in fiber, which keeps your digestive system in check, but they’re also high in Vitamin A (great for vision and skin health) and cancer-fighting Vitamin K as well as antioxidants. There are different varieties of kale, but most only cost a few dollars per bunch and you can make chips with any of them. The most common type, pictured below, is curly kale, which is mild and a bit sweet.
