Dino kale

When we first posted about kale chips back in 2008, they were still somewhat of a novelty. Now you can purchase kale chips in bags at your gas station’s mini-mart — or at least you can here in California! But those pre-made chips can be really expensive and the quality isn’t always that high. Besides, it’s really easy to make your own, so we thought we would revisit our old kale chip recipe with a complete step-by-step guide and some new tips we’ve learned.

Kale. It can be overpowering on its own, and many avoid it purely based off its reputation. I used to be one of those people until I found Dino kale. Also called Lacinato or Tuscan kale, it is full of vitamins and nutrients but isn’t as tough to eat raw. You can mix and match the ingredients, but I find the combination I use to be filling, nutrient dense, and super easy to make. I normally make this with diced tomato too, but I was out this time, so I went without. It was still amazing.
