Baked kale chips are a great way to get that crunchy mouthfeel with heaps of B6, C, A, K, folate, copper and manganese (which you’re not going to get from a potato chip).
Rather than starch from potato or corn mixed with omega 6 seed oils, these “chips” use kale, fat from olive or coconut oil and flavour from curry powder and salt to provide a much healthier alternative.
