Why You'll Love This Recipe
Healthy Chips: This recipe for BBQ Kale Chips makes healthy chips! If you are new to kale chips, they are so easy to make and they are so much healthier than traditional chips!
Nostalgic: BBQ chips will always be nostalgic for me because they were a special treat we got in the summertime at our pool club. So, these really take me back because they taste very similar but they are so much better to eat!
No Seed Oils: Part of the reason chips are unhealthy is they are usually made with seed oils. Unless you are buying avocado oil or olive oil chips, then they are most likely made with canola oil, sunflower oil, or other harmful seed oils. So, when these I use extra virgin olive oil for healthy chips without any seed oils.
