Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips

Last week I made my first batch of kale chips and both my husband and I found them to be surprisingly addictive. The hubby shared some of his with the guys are work and from what I heard they all liked them, including one gentleman who does not like kale. Full of enthusiasm from the initial success I wanted to try salt and vinegar kale chips. Since I used to love salt and vinegar potato chips this made complete sense to me. I only made a few in case I was wrong. Big mistake. The salt and vinegar version is better than the plain. Here is what I did.

Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips
Makes 4 generous servings - about a cup each

Ingredients:

1 bunch of kale, stems removed and torn into large pieces
1 teaspoon malt vinegar
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 pinch dulse granules
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Place the kale pieces on a half sheet tray and sprinkle with malt vinegar and oil. Toss the kale so that all the greens are coated. Add the dulse granules and black pepper and toss to coat.

Place the kale in a single layer in the dehydrator and dry overnight. In the morning you will have crispy kale chips.

If you like salt and vinegar potato chips these are very similar only healthy.

Comments:

This is my second attempt making kale chips and I think these are much better than the first batch and no more difficult. I think we are now officially obsessed with kale chips at my house. I may need to stop at the store for more kale before the weekend. Something tells me two batches of kale chips won’t last us all week.

One of the reasons I love these, other than the crunch and the taste is the nutrition. These little chips are packed with healthy antioxidants and phytonutrients. I increased the serving size this time to more closely approximate what we were actually eating at one time. Each serving of these chips contains over 20,600IU of vitamin A, 160 mg of vitamin C, 180mg calcium, and 1,090mcg of vitamin K.
