Heart Healthy Crispy Kale Chips Recipe 

Trade out high-fat potato chips for kale baked along with olive oil and Parmesan cheese—the result is unbelievably crispy, flavorful, and heart-healthy.

Ingredients

The recipe yields 8 servings

• 1 large bunch kale
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°
Step 2: Trim tough stems from kale and discard; cut large leaves into 2-inch pieces (leave any small leaves whole). Wash kale and dry thoroughly.
Step 3: In a large bowl, drizzle kale with oil and sprinkle with salt. Mix very well to evenly coat.
Step 4: On large-rimmed baking sheets, arrange kale in a single layer. Do not overlap leaves. (Kale may need to be baked in batches.) Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the leaves are crisp and slightly browned.
Step 5: Let kale chips cool and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using. Cooled kale chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
