Essential Oil Infused Kale Chips
Hi there! I’m Amy, kitchen essential oil tester for Jenni, Natural Oil Mom, and boy do I have something great to share, an essential oil infused Kale chips recipe! Kale is one of Jenni’s favorite super foods, and she loves fitting it into her family’s diet in any way possible.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Melt coconut oil on very low heat in a saucepan, removing from heat when completely melted
- Meanwhile, gently wash and pat dry kale leaves
- Chop off thick spine on each kale leaf
- Roughly chop or tear leaves into large chunks
- Put drops of essential oil into coconut oil, giving a quick stir to incorporate it
- Dip kale leaves in coconut oil mixture, making sure each piece is completely coated (personally, I just dump all the leaves in and mix it all around with my hands)
- Place coated kale leaves on a parchment paper lined pan (or baking stone if you have one)
- Lightly sprinkle with sea salt
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes with a convection oven (try 20-25 minutes with non-convection), or until crispy but not burnt
- Store in an airtight container (if they last that long, that is!)
Notes
You could quite easily try the other citrus essential oils, though I would recommend using only 2 drops if you do.
One more note on kale: The EWG (Environmental Working Group) lists kale in it’s Dirty Dozen+ list for pesticides in produce. So for my family I always choose to get organic kale. A light washing could remove a good amount of surface pesticides, but it cannot remove those incorporated into the kale while it was growing.
