Hey All!

Happy dance for the weekend! 
How is your Saturday starting off?
It is absolutely beautiful today, 
so after this post I’m going to go out and spend the day enjoying this weather with some friends!
I love having snacks that are healthy and easy to make. These kale chips can be served as a side dish or eaten as a snack. Does anyone else hate the work snack? It sounds weird to me…anyways…
Almond-Kale Chips
Serves: As many as you’d like
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-40 minutes (depending on your oven)
- 1 large bunch kale (I used red, I prefer dinosaur kale though)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons almond meal/flour
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- dash of salt and any seasonings you desire***
Set your oven to 250 F
1. First de-stem and wash your kale, then place it in a strainer and pat dry the kale.
2. Set kale aside, melt the coconut oil in the microwave and add the nutritional yeast and almond meal and any of the other seasonings you wish to add to the kale.**
3. Grab a mixing bowl and massage the kale well into the dressing with your hands.
4. Place the massaged kale onto a tray lined with tinfoil, and place the kale in the oven, set your timer for 40 minutes (be sure to check on the kale after 20 minutes, and keep an eye on them for the next 10-20 minutes).
Sugar-Free “Ketchup”
1. Mix a dash of stevia in a bowl with 2-4 tablespoons of tomato paste, easy-peezy ketchup.
sugar free ketchup
mix
the finale
Note: ***Feel free to make the kale any flavour you’d like: spicy, savory, or you could make them sweet with sugar/stevia and instead of nutritional yeast use cocoa powder.
Happy eating!
I stumbled upon this via pinterest yesterday, and for some reason it just makes me laugh so hard.

Wow sweetie! What a great flavour combo! Impressive
I just finished off my bunch of kale and bought collard greens for a change, but next time I go to the grocery store I will buy kale, so I can make YOUR recipe
P.s. I was out of town all day yesterday, so will be writing you an email today
Happy Sunday!
I love kale chips! I need to make more soon, I made garlic flavored ones last time and they were yummy!
I’ve never tried garlic flavoured ones! I’ll need to try those! Happy sunday to you too!
Kale chips are the bomb. I love how fast they are to make because I don’t have the patience to wait very long for those babies!
And LOL at the whales. That definitely got a laugh out of me!
Haha I don’t know why I find it so funny, its cute. I know same here, I love fast meals! When I’m hungry I can’t wait long!!
great recipe! this would serve one in my life hahaha but i love that you added almond meal! such a genius idea
Me too! Haha, I love kale chips I can eat them in mass quantities. I can’t believe some people can have such tiny batches with leftovers! They wouldn’t stand a chance with me
ooo those kale chips look so good. I’ve had store bought before but have not made them myself yet. I’ll try your recipe soon
Yah I like to make them myself because they are so easy once you try!
Hahaha oh Deena! Your kale chips look wonderful! The first time I made them, I burned the heck out of them (note, keep a timer!) but the other batches turn out well now
The first couple times I alwaysss burnt them! And I did not understand how other people got there’s to look so good haha, now I’ve learned to lower the oven temperature and put on a timer!
I am TOTALLY stealing this idea- I love buying kale chips because they have almost an outer coating on them like they’ve been battered and fried or something. I have never achieved that at home. Coconut oil and almond flour! Perfect!
Me too, I used to love buying them. They are soo much cheaper this way, and they taste pretty good too!
The whale just made me burst out laughing. Thank you for that.
haha its one of my faves!
