Kale Chips

I love munching on something crunchy like chips. Recently there has been many new "healthier" and tempting options in the market, but i prefer to keep those for camping trips or as a last resort. At home, I like making fresh baked chips made from potatoes, sweet potatoes, asparagus, kale and beetroots. Recently, I have been really enjoying those kale chips which are so easy to make and delicious! You can enjoy munching on it by itself or even as a topping to your salad for some extra crunch :D

Kale is very low in calories, contains no fat and is high in fibre, iron, vitamins K, A and C. Kale is filled with antioxidants and is great for anti inflammatory and cardiovascular health.



Method

- Preheat the oven to 150c.
- wash and dry your kale very well with a tissue paper (you might have to cut them into smaller pieces depending on how big the leaves are).
 
In a bowl, add:
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 lime (juice)
1tsp nutritional yeast (I've heard feedback that it still tastes good without, but i like to add it for the extra taste and nutrients).
1tsp tahini sauce (the secret ingredient!)
pinch of garlic powder
salt & pepper
Mix everything well.

- Add the kale in the bowl and soak in the sauce.
- Line them one by one on the baking tray so that they are not overlapping.
- Bake for 15 minutes then flip the kale chips and bake for another 15 minutes.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do :)
