“Cheesy” Kale Chips
Who said Kale can’t taste great?? The first time I made these, my husband (an avid potato chip muncher) ate the whole plate!
So I thought I’d share with you this yummy and healthy recipe from my Leading Lady Reset Program.
Now a note on Kale:
Kale is high in oxalates — also known as oxalic acid — which is a naturally-occurring compound in plants.
Various legumes and leafy greens, such as kale, while high in oxalates are also rich in many nutrients beneficial to your health. However, because oxalates bind to calcium as they leave the body, they can increase the risk of kidney stones in some people.
If you’re prone to kidney stones or have kidney disease, your doctor may recommend you follow a low-oxalate diet. However, for most people, the benefits of nutrient-dense, high-oxalate foods can outweigh their risks.
So, while we love these kale chips, we eat them moderately.
