Homemade Roasted Kale Chips

Homemade Roasted Kale Chips


Kale is a relative newcomer to Greek farmers’ markets, but it’s made headway in the last few years and people have come to love it in salads and grain-based dishes. It’s not surprising, since this crunchy member of the brassica family taps into Greeks’ love with all things cabbagy – they’re related, of course! I have to admit that I have found solace in this recipe. One of my foodie “sins” is to indulge in a good bag of kettle-cooked potato chips, but I always feel so guilty and, well, like I have abandoned my Mediterranean diet philosophy of healthy eating, so I really try hard to resist. But this Mediterranean diet snack recipe provides a super healthy option whenever we feel the hankering for something tangy and crunchy. It’s really easy to make, too!
