Crispy “everything” kale chips that have the most amazing flavors of parmesan cheese, chives, onion powder, sesame seeds, and more!
Kale is a very popular food lately but I have held back on trying it. I’m not sure why. Perhaps because it seemed a little stale-looking and I doubted if I would enjoy the flavor.
I spotted this recipe for Crispy Everything Kale Chips at Food.com and it sounded perfect. It has a ton of yummy flavors going on. What is so great is that the recipe is very flexible so pick and choose whichever ingredients sound good to you. I happened to use all of them and it turned out great.
I had my doubts that my children would try it. Not only did my 5 year old try it, but she also declared it good and got herself a small bowl to eat. That is a big win for any recipe. Enjoy!
