    Kale is well known for being good for us, but people seem to steer away from it, thinking that it's either boring or tasteless. These kale chips are oven baked, and a great way to get out of the same 'ole kale smoothie or raw salads routine - time to try something new!

    Simply add these kale chips to a fresh and vibrant salad like this Chickpea Cucumber and Fresh Herb Salad or just snack on them to satisfy your craving for something crunchy and savoury. They're low in calories, low carb and scrumptious.

    Are Kale Chips Healthy?

    Kale is regarded to be a superfood; it's packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Not to mention, it's also high in vitamin K, which has shown to help with wound healing heal and repair. Plus, kale is high in vitamins A, C, and calcium, helping to maintain strong and healthy bones.

    When cooking kale, stick to healthy cooking methods - most often, opt for baking, stirfrying, and of course, enjoy raw. It's terrific in salads, soups, juices and smoothies.

    It's safe to say that incorporating kale into your diet is a great way to load up on nutrients and stay healthy!

    What is Chaat Masala?

    Chaat masala is a lip-smacking kale chips seasoning. It's a powdered blend of different spices and is commonly used in Indian and South Asian cooking. It has a delicious tangy flavour and is perfect for adding to soups, stews, and curries. I use it to flavour these kale chips, and it works wonderfully to create crispy and crunchy chips - with a tangy chaat masala flavour!

    How to Make Crispy Kale Chips in the Oven in 4 Easy Steps

    step by by step preparation shots of how to make kale chips oven baked
    1. Wash the kale in cold water and make sure that it's thoroughly dry (Image 1)
    2. Remove leaves from stems and break into medium-sized pieces (Image 2)
    3. Using your hands, massage the oil into the leaves (Image 3)
    4. Sprinkle the chaat masala and rub further, making sure that all the leaves are evenly coated with the spice (Image 4)
    5. Arrange in a single layer on a baking tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the kale are crispy.

    Tips and Variations

    • Make sure to wash the kale beforehand and dry it thoroughly before baking
    • Make sure to bake the kale at a low temperature and don't be tempted to turn up the heat or it will burn and become bitter
    • Bake the kale on an even layer to ensure even baking. Avoid stacking the leaves on top of one another
    • You can add more/less chaat masala as per your taste. I go easy, so my little one can join in. Plus, we don't typically add a lot of salt to our recipes.
    • Kale chips will store in a cool, dry place for several days after baking.
