Kale and Mushroom Chips

One of my guilty pleasures are potato chips.  They're a convenient and tasty snack.  Unfortunately, they're also loaded with saturated fat and excess calories.  Even the baked variety are quite unhealthy.  A great alternative to traditional potato chips are kale chips.  They're relatively easily to make and a very healthy snack.   

Ingredients

  • 1 head of Kale
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • Canola Oil
  • Sea Salt

Preparation

  1. First, thinly slice the mushrooms.  Then, lightly coat the mushrooms in flour.  
  2. Fill a deep pan with approximately 1 inch of canola oil and bring to a high heat.  Also, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. While waiting for the oil to heat, removed the stems from the kale and then slice it into pieces.
  4. Once the oil is heated, add the mushrooms in small batches and fry them for 25-30 seconds.  After the mushrooms are fried, allow them to dry.
  5. Place the kale onto a cooking sheet and place in the oven for 13-15 minutes.
  6. After the kale is done, combine it with the mushrooms in a bowl and lightly salt and toss.
