Kale Chips
These are popular everywhere now. BUT, we find that the store-bought versions are not nearly half as tasty or HEALTHY as the ones you can make at home. Here’s our rendition.
"Cheesy" Kale Chips
We LOVE Nutritional Yeast not only for the "cheesy-like" flavor but for the healthy properties it contains including protein, B-vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. According to Healthline, "Consuming nutritional yeast can be an effective way to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency while on a vegan diet." Let's get to the good stuff...
What You’ll Need:
1 head of Organic Kale
1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast
2 tbs Olive Oil
pinch of S&P
What You’ll Do:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees
Tear the kale into small, chip-size pieces (make sure to remove the ribs); toss in bowl
Mix kale, olive oil, and nutritional yeast in a bowl
Place kale on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and place in oven
Cook for 20 minutes
Cinnamon Kale Chips
These are tasty and so so healthy! Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants, can reduce insulin resistance, and has anti-inflammatory properties. From Healthline, "Cinnamon has been shown to decrease glucose that enters your bloodstream after a meal. It does this by interfering with numerous digestive enzymes, which slows the breakdown of carbohydrates in your digestive tract." Without further ado...
