Make this year the year that you start eating healthier and substitute healthy alternatives for those saturated fatty foods. Kale is king this year, along with quinoa, adding important dietary fiber, Vitamins K, A and C, calcium and antioxidants to your diet. These, in turn, help lower bad cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and aid in the prevention of certain cancers. What more could you ask of a vegetable? Baking the kale gives it a crunch akin to potato chips and the saltiness mimics that of the chips. It might not be exactly the same as potato chips but it is delicious and will surely help you feel better about yourself when you finish eating them. Yay, no more guilt! Kale Chips Ingredients: 12-oz fresh kale, stems removed 1 Tablespoon light olive oil 1 Tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese, grated 1 teaspoon minced garlic salt & pepper, to taste 1/4 lemon, juiced Directions: Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
