Favorite snack alert!!!
For years, seriously years, I have been spending my entertainment cash on kale chips over movies and hair tints.
I don’t care what anybody says, kale chips are for today.
They aren’t gross grass-food for the rabbits, contrary to what some people I have talked to say…
They are food… snacks… deliciousness for the modern woman or man; please and thank you.
Can you tell I’m very passionate about this subject?
In all my years of craving kale chips above all other snacks, I have only once ventured out to make them at home once.
The first try was a majorly epic flop!
They turned out soggy in the center and burnt on the edges; I have one word for that and it’s: yuck!
Since I have been dreaming about kale chips lately, and couldn’t find any in the nearby stores (because we have VERY limited options), I decided to try another round of homemade kale chips…
And YUM!
We have a winner!

These zesty kale chips are loaded with all the pop and zing from lemons and some serious spice from that garlic and red pepper flakes.
It’s all just good enough to make me think I’m eating them right outta the bag!
Now that I have smashed the kale chip game at home, I’m really thinking about venturing out to some other flavors. 🙂
I’m already dreaming of all the flavor combos already.

These kale chips are a healthy snack for on-the-go!
The fact of these chips being whole30 and vegan is just a major bonus.
One of the best ways to store these kale chips is in these glasslock containers on the countertop… within snacking distance, of course. 🙂
