Kale Chips with Garlic

Kale chips make a wonderfully crunchy, healthy vitamin packed topping for everything from soups and stir-fries, or crumbled onto popcorn. The dark green chips also make a great addition to crudites spread with dip,  for a cocktail party, For this, I generally make the chips larger, leave the stems in and serve them with a light yogurt dill dip (simple recipe for that, below).

Kale Chips with Garlic

1 bunch kale – washed, dried, stems removed and cut into chunks

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves Garlic – sliced thin

Salt & freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, toss kale with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

Spread the coated kale out on a baking sheet. If the kale overlaps too much, it won’t dry out properly.

Bake for 15 minutes or so, until the kale is crispy.

Yogurt Dill Dip

2 Cups Yogurt

1 cup lite Sour Cream

1 cup chopped dill

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in a bowl, stir, and serve with fresh vegetables, and Kale Chips.
