Crunchy kale crisps make a tremendously healthy snack and make an ideal alternative to conventional processed snack foods and crisps. The trick is to make a thick batter to coat the kale pieces in. You can make these in the oven or use a dehydrator if you have one. Once dried thoroughly they will keep well in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
