Ahhh! The first day of Spring, although it does not feel like it Pennsylvania today, but at least the sun is shining. Which has me thinking swim suit season is right around the corner. Time to step up my fitness and be mindful of what I am eating.

First step, healthy snacks, especially since I am a big snacker during the day. Well these kale chips are delish and have you going back for more. Good thing they are a good for you and a guilt free snack!

Did you know that Kale’s considered a superfood?  According to a May 2010 article published in “Diabetes Forecast,” it provides high levels of a number of essential nutrients and may help to lower your blood pressure.  Click here to find out more about why this vegetable is considered a super food.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh kale, thick stems removed and chopped into bite size pieces
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Couple of dashes of soy sauce, or tamari for gluten free
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  

Directions

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl to coat kale.
• Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. I noticed the chips closer to the edge of the pan crisped first, so I removed those and cooked the rest a few minutes longer.
