Lemon Kale Chips
Healthy meals are easy to plan for – but healthy snacks? It’s not as challenging (or boring!) as you might think. With a little forethought and a few ingredients, you can make nutritious snacks that satisfy your cravings for something delicious as a treat. Our version of kale chips lights up with Limoneira® lemons, rich grated cheese, and a dash of spice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 Limoneira® lemon
- 1 ⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ⁄2 crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. (Or, if you have just one, you can cook in batches).
- Wash the kale thoroughly, and remove the leaves from the tougher stems. Tear it into chip-sizes pieces, and place in a bowl.
- With your clean hands, lightly massage the oil into the kale leaves – make sure they are coated, but not so much they are dripping.
- Pop into the oven for 12 minutes. The kale should darken, and become crispy.
- Take it out of the oven, and sprinkle with the salt, red pepper flakes, and grated cheese. Squeeze about half the lemon juice on it.
- Return to the oven for another minute or two. Don’t over cook.
- Remove from the oven, and squeeze the rest of the lemon juice on the chips while they’re still warm.
- Cool, and enjoy.
