Have you ever tried kale chips? They’re a super tasty, simple, and easy snack that you can take anywhere you go. It's super crispy, satisfying, and a delicious way of incorporating more leafy greens into your diet.

Besides, kale is one of the healthiest foods you'll find. It's considered a superfood and it's high in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins A, C, and K. In addition, it's an amazing antioxidant, so you really should give this recipe a try!

As always, I prefer to make my own food at home, especially when it comes to snacks; the store-bought ones usually contain lots of additives and preservatives, and if not, they are super expensive.

Are kale chips healthy?

Of course! In fact, kale chips are one of the healthiest snacks you'll ever have, especially if you make them yourself. Kale is a superfood, so it's high in nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Can kale chips be stored?

Although kale chips are best when fresh, you can store the leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. I suggest you keep them in a sealed bag so you can easily take them wherever you go!
