 With Kale becoming so popular in the last few years, it’s nice to have all different ways to enjoy this healthy, leafy green. We love kale in many savory dishes like this one… but, there’s another way to enjoy kale. Bake them on a sheet pan. They dry out to make a really crispy, crunchy chip. You can eat them just as or make them this way. Delicious, rich dark chocolate drizzled over the top. The perfect snack. Once you make them this way, I’m sure you will enjoy them like we do.
