Hopefully you rescued all of those leafy greens last weekend from dying in the heat wave! If you like crispy salty snacks and you’ve never tried kale chips, you need to go make these. Now!
Number one, it’s easy. Number two, they’re delicious. Number three, I’m willing to bet you could eat an entire head of kale in one sitting if they’re in chip form. Simply massage the leaves in a little olive oil, season, and bake at 275 F for 20 minutes and you’ve got yourself an awesome afternoon snack.
This recipe uses cocoa & cayenne for the seasoning but you could switch it up depending on what you like. Experiment with things like parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, herbs, or nutritional yeast.
Enjoy!

The WhirlyGigs is dance music for kids that parents will love.
Folksy, hand clappin’, toe tappin’ songs with great lyrics that serve up comedy, poignancy, and a whoop whoop spirit.
Multi Instrumentalist Keith Wasserman has been playing music and writing songs his whole life. In 2009 when he became a dad,
it was only natural that his songwriting became a creative connection to share with his daughter, family, and new
community of parents and their kids.
Keith spent a year playing his children’s songs at a local preschool, for what he called: “…the perfect focus group…!”.
With titles like Portobello Mushroom, Don’t Ask me Why, Puddle Jumping, & Tickle Machine, get ready to dance
and laugh and make singing with your kids fun!
The WhirlyGigs will be appearing this summer at Local Famers Markets, Festivals, the streets of Cambridge, and your backyard!
