Low Calorie Cheesy Kale Chips

Hello lover. Welcome to the snack hall of fame.

Have you tried those fancy store-bought kale chips? You know what I’m talking about. The ones touted raw and the answer to perfect health? The ones that cost more than rent? Yes, those ones. They are freakishly delicious and now I have a problem.

I’ll admit to thinking about it longer than I should have, but I do like a home with a roof and the basic utilities (air conditioning, water, Netflix, you know the necessities). This is the dilemma.

When in doubt, go to the kitchen! That’s such a food blogger answer, but it’s 103% true.

The result? An absolutely scrumptious batch of kale chips that are easy and much lower in calories and rent money. And I cannot. stop. eating them.

KELLY. It’s a shriveled up leaf. Get a grip.

Gee, self. Maybe you can tell me why it tastes so darn good?  Can you tell me where they all went? Why did I eat so many of them? They may be leaves but they taste absolutely incredible.

Most kale chip dressings call for soaking and blending and a whole lot of calories, but not this beauty. I try to keep extraneous efforts and calories to a minimum.

Reflect over how photogenic kale is.

Get all dolled up with a stunning dress(ing).

Our friend kale is a bit tense, but if you simply massage the dressing in for a bit you’ll be rewarded greatly.

Green and gorgeous.

After a vacation in the dehydrator for you fancy folk, or an oven for us mere mortals, you have crispy wonders of the snacking world.

Get a good look, my friends. These won’t last very long.

Have you tried kale chips? What do you think?

I’ve made the plain homemade ones before, but they don’t compare to the storebought. I’ve inhaled the storebought ones before, but they don’t compare to these.
