These crispy baked Ranch Kale Chips are the perfect healthy alternative to potato chips.
Kale chips have been my latest go-to snack. I don't eat potato chips often, but these satisfy my craving for a crunchy snack.
I love that I get more greens into my diet in a fun way. These Ranch Kale Chips are just that - a fun healthy snack.
Some other kale chip recipes I've made are Cheesy Kale Chips, Wasabi Kale Chips, BBQ Kale Chips, and Nacho Kale Chips.
If you like ranch flavors, try my Vegan Hemp Seed Ranch Dressing or my Vegan Ranch Dressing.
Another fun healthy snack is my recipe for Pizza Flavored Popcorn.

Should I Remove The Stems?
Yes, you'll want to remove the stems, including the center rib. They are tough and chewy.

Using a knife, cut right next to the stem on both sides. You can also hold the leaf in your hand and strip the leaves off away from you.
What Type of Kale Should I use?
You can use any variety of kale you want. I prefer any of the curly varieties.
🥡 Storage
These will last for about a week in an airtight container in the pantry.
Ways To Use Nutritional Yeast
I use nutritional yeast anywhere I want a cheesy flavor.
