Kale Chips = Ready in 10 Minutes + Superfood Snack+ Prevent Most Diseases!

in food •  7 years ago

Is reducing the risk for cancer, heart attack, and stroke as easy as eating a few kale chips every day? According to the books How Not To Die and Whole, eating mostly whole plant foods such as unprocessed fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains combined with an hour of exercise, an active low stress lifestyle, and minimizing intake of that which contributes to disease, we can expect to reduce our risk for all of the top 15 causes of death and life lives with less pain and more pleasure!

I eat and live this way today and see that the key to making it work is making practicing this lifestyle easy and fun! What helps is to have lots of snack foods and easy to make fruit and vegetable snacks like kale chips to ensure the full amount of vegetable intake which tends to be the most challenging for me. Today would you join us in reading my newest adventure in making kale chips because most of us struggle to eat vegetables while this post shows an easy way to do it?

We start with a bag of kale which is less than $5 and produces enough for 3 to 4 full trays of kale chips.

Check out the nutrition label!

To begin, we set the stove to 350 Fahrenheit or about 180 Celsius.

Next, rinse the kale leaves and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or a substitute that will help the chips become crispy in the oven and taste good.

I like the Japanese seven spice from Publix for a spicy flavor without salt!

Add garlic powder for more flavor!

Finish it with more garlic and herb without any salt and get ready for my breath!

After several failed attempts, I find this airbake tray helps a lot to allow the kale to cook evenly without burning because a thicker pan makes it too easy to burn on the bottom and not be done on the top.

Dump the kale out of the strainer onto the tray.

Invite children to join in on the nutrition and the fun cooking!

IMG_0314.jpg

Slide into the oven.

Set a timer for about 7 minutes and make sure cook just to crispy without burning. After a few times making these I now get them right consistently after initially both undercooking and burning.

Take them out of the oven when most are crispy and a few are still a little soft to avoid burning. Leave in a minute too long and a bunch may burn.

Eat directly off the serving tray immediately for the best experience!

Promoting healthy eating with my daughter is fairly easy when she hangs out me making kale chips and eating other fruits and vegetables!

Thank you for reading this and I hope if you try the kale chips you enjoy them as much as I do!

Love,

Jerry, I am so glad to see you promoting healthy food. You radiate good health , look at your skin :) MashaAllah.
I will definitely try those kale chips/crisps :)

True. It is so important to eat healthy and it's important to teach it to kids by exposing them to healthy food choices early instead of always giving them junk foods and candy. It really makes a difference in our health and too many people don't get that. Healthy eating can also aid in healing and prevention of diseases.

Yes, that is true. All diseases can be cured by eating healthy foods.

We need to get rid of GMOs, artificial food adjectives, artificial chemicals, and artificial chemical based medicines.

We only need pure and healthy food to live healthy and happy lives :)

Yes, they eat healthy and their face glow is showing this fact!!!

And kids love to eat healthy, too, most of the time.

They look delicious. I need to get some of the Japanese seven spice I think...

@aishaali thank you for noticing!

Vegan power! :D

i am glad to see the baby really enjoying with you love to see her n that good mood muahhhhhhhhhh

great baby, for sure

thanks brother i really got appreciated

Just can't get my inner slacker to go for it........ Did see some regular chips on the shelf at the store made from/with kale but still can't take that step....

@jerrybanfield I will have to try making some of these after you showing us how. This is the First time I have commented on one of your postings in 2018 I believe. Keep on STEEMing Jerry !

@stokjockey happy New Year!

Thank You Jerry and Happy New Year to you and your Family. I Love You Man and what you do to make STEEMIT the BEST in the World !

@jerrybanfield Great and yummy recipe. I have tried some homemade kale chips, and I strongly recommend them. Super healthy and surprisingly delicious ! Wishing you a fantastic 2018!

Agreed. Super healthy. And health can be seen in the eyes.

Very good composition from text and pictures. It was fun to read it. Espically when you are also interessted in such diets!
I'll kepp me on track with your articels :)

OMG I LOVE Kale Chips.. Have to tryyour seasoning ideas though.. I tend to stick to some grated Parmesan (or for vegans nutritional yeast provides a similar flavour) We grow bucket loads of the stuff so its the only way we can use what we don't put in salads or give away!

say hello to the little girl

She is girl :P

i know

I've never actually tried Kale Chips before. I'm all about healthy eating and these sound great! I will definitely try these out soon.

The sooner the better.

Nice! We make these all the time too and posted a recipe on steem a few months back :) My favorite is seeing my 3 year old polish a bowl in 5 min. Try balsamic, olive oil, salt and Parmesan next time you make a batch. It's insanely good.

Yes!

Yes! Thank you for showing that kids can enjoy kale chips too! I was over at my buddy Chris' house during the holidays, and was surprised/extremely stoked that his 4 year old was munching on homemade kale chips! I had some as well and they were awesome. Vegan 4 life, keep doing your thing and spreading the plant based way of life!

Vegan for life is better than Super Size Me. Great.

Sold. I can't find a good way of like kale but this just might work

Thats amazing! Usually kids dislike vegetables and you have to enter a big war to make them eat it. This sweet girl looks like a health conscious person and it is a good habit :)
I never tried kale chips before, so I will try them out. Thank you for sharing :)

Some kids like vegetables and fruits and some maybe not so much. It is mostly a choice some children make but we can try our best to give them fun experiences and memories to help them not associate healthy food with anything too yucky or scary or bad or weird or anything too painful or whatever.

Better watch what we eat to avoid seeing the doctor much. Nice read @jerrybanfield :)

an apple a day keeps the doctor away

I might try the same on my Big Green Egg. They will crisp up the same, but it should add a hint of smoke.

I can't decide whether the smoky flavour would be a positive or a negative. Only one way to try.

green eggs and ham

Beside making great videos for the platform of steemit, it seems like you can start to move into the role of a health ambassador. Good sharing about how to eat right without neglecting great taste. If your son likes it, I am sure it is definitely great taste!

agreed, he could be the President of Health

It's awesome to see how you are able to get your kid to be so excited about making healthy foods. @jerrybanfield

i love all post my friend
@jerrybanfield

Most people undervalue their health and sacrifice it to earn money. This is a great way to pass information to authors who want to earn and get information to stay healthy! Keep it up! Happy new year Jerry.

I’ve made multiple different kinds of seasoned kale chips and they are awesome, my family and I make easily over 3lbs of kale weekly in our garden and mostly make kale chips out of them, way healthier then potato chips

top jerry super recipe i hope there will be more, i have to try it right now:-)

I will definitely try those kale chips/crisps :)

I make my kale chips in a dehydrator. I make a "vegan raw cheese sauce" using nutritional yeast, cashews and a few other ingredients. I will post a recipe soon. It's my favorite way of making kale chips. Thanks for sharing your post.

cool info, I am sure it's super healthy for kids

my brother's kids LOOOVe it (niece and nephews )

hey Jerry , nice work
you were the reason i'm here, i'm so thankful.

Bonne apetit bro Jerry .

This is perfect eating healthy and teaching children that delicious is

This article is helpful and nice.
Please check out my post you might just like em

This is very good for our health, I will definitely try this. Thank you for sharing. :)

always and forever

A diet rich in alkaline foods promotes a healthy lifestyle. Glad you are promoting kale for its healthy and tasty benefits.

Kale also contain other nutrients such as riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin E. It’s also low in calories

Only reading this already makes me hungry. I'm really gonna try this. I love vegetables and I like chips so this seems to beautifully to be true! :)

10 minutes to make, 20 seconds to consume. My only problem with kale chips is that they don't last very long.

enjoy the moment while it lasts

Keep on this joy, following you.

Great food, kid, fun, and everything. The secret to health is in simplicity, nature, and common sense. Less ingredients is better, healthier. Spices are good. Japanese things are great.

Looks like you are having some fun family time together with your daughter.
She really looks like she is enjoying kale chips.

It's so important to teach our kids eating healthy.
Thanks for sharing your recipe @jerrybanfield

Wow.. That looks good. I should try it soon.
Thanks for this great share :)
This would work to substitute for potato chips (Looking forward to slim me down) lolx

Jerry what inspired you to join #veganlife?

All hale the kale!!

I can’t wait to try this! My daughter and I love kale, and this sounds amazing. Do you think a wire rack would work to help it crisp? I don’t have a pan like you used.

Wow your blog food and photography excellent

A great way to make delicious and natural dishes away from the fast food we eat in the street and full of toxins and chemicals. Thank

You get even more nutrients if you do the exact same thing but replace the oven with a food dehydrator. Props on promoting that healthy living!

I love healthy post like this. I think I'll give this a try. Though a less stressful life style is gonna be hard to pull off for the most of us. Anyway thanks for sharing this wonderful article. Have a nice day.

Many thanks for sharing such new dishes with us. I ll try

Jerry! I have been a follower of your channel and now you are in my territory! LOL! I love it. Great to see you cooking. We love kale and yes it is so healthy and good for you. I put it in a lot of soups. Great post.

Kale chips are indeed the real "betcha can't eat just one" chips.

When I make these, they never make it to the bowl. And, it's a great reason to grow this nutrient-rich veg in the garden.

Healthy eating is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give.

Peace.

It's so nice to see people switching to the whole food plant based diet.
I made the switch around 2 years ago and i healed all my digestive problems.
I now have energy to exercise, I'm stronger than ever and i lost around 8kg of weight.
This is the best diet ever, Keep on showing people that a whole food plant based diet is the healthiest diet in the world!

Good Job Jerry!

Same here!

Yummy!!! Definitely one of my favorite snacks. This picture is beyond adorable. Following ~

Nice recipe!

Jerry, like you, I'm a big fan of kale chips. I'm from California so I think it's a requirement!

I agree about the holey baking sheet. For transfer from the bowl, I put the sheet on top and flip it. I use a bowl since I add a lot more oil than you do.

For oil, they say you're not supposed to cook with olive oil. I ignore that since my daughter prefers it. I've tried a few others and like avocado oil (yeah, Californian) which is a bit sweeter.

Lastly, I pile it higher, cook longer, and toss it halfway so it gives some crispy and some a bit more moist.

Thanks for the recipe! I'll have to try changing up from simply salt, pepper and garlic powder.

wow i love this, thanks for sharing this awesome information to fellow steemians

hey jerry, who was the cutypie? I'm really glad to see him.. he is so sweet.. I like him.. I want to meet with the baby.. help me out please <3

From the look, it seems that most of the component is made up of natural food. I always encourage people to take a lot of natural food because it make us more healthier.

I've never tried Kale chips but I love that crunchy Kale salad Coscto sells. I'll have to try these Kale chips

hello great post, I'm new to steemit ... look at my recipe in this article and please vote for it !! https://steemit.com/food/@idara/yumyum-ep-01-my-brownies-cupcakes-recipe

Love some kale chips! Looks great. I also love growing it. I think that's my favorite. Tending the plants from seeds and taking part in the bounty of our natural world. Peace and Love and Liberty

Waw!

Who wouldn't like to eat this kind of food. If we eat food as drugs, we will not need to eat drugs as food.

You have a beautiful daughter, similar to you, @jerrybanfield! The first time I see such chips! They should be very useful and tasty. I also close the bags with a clothespin. Very comfortably

Absolutely, kale is snacksy!

Jerry brother your kid is so cute 🤗🤗

Interesting recipe ...

hope everybody will enjoy this.
