You gotta rub the oil

Ever since I heard about kale chips, I've tried making them several times & they've never came out like they were supposed to. They were either too crispy (meaning burnt) or soggy of half soggy & half burnt. I was going to give up but since I really like potato chips, I wanted to find a healthy alternative.

I started searching for tips and found a great post on The Chic Life. I tried making them the way she suggests which is what I had been doing before except for one thing - getting the kale leaves evenly coated. That was the issue. I never coated them evenly. In the post, it's suggested that you actually rub the oil on the kale to make sure it's got an even coat.  Seems tedious but it really isn't. It's also worth it because I attempted to make them tonight & they came out so good.  They came out perfectly crispy and yummy.  This is a snack that you can eat and not feel guilty about doing so.

I've also seen recipes to make jicama & zucchini chips so I am going to give those a try & see how they turn out.
