I have to share this recipe I just tried it myself after first turning my nose up to it. You will not believe how good these taste and they are completely guilt free. If you are constantly craving salty things, try these:
Kale chips (yes, Kale)
1 bunch kale, washed and COMPLETELY dried
Olive Oil Spray (fat calorie-free) or 2 tsp olive oil
Salt or seasonings of your choice
Wash and COMPLETELY DRY the kale. If the leaves are not compeltely dry, they will be steamed instead of baked, and therefore mushy instead of crispy. Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Tear the kale off of the thick middle stem. Tear all the leaves into bite-size pieces. Put in a bowl. Spray with the olive oil and use your hands to "massage" the oil into all the leaves. You can also use about 2 teaspoons of real olive oil but I like the "guilt-free" part of the spray.
Sprinkle a small amount of your seasonings over the leaves and again use your hands to distribute.
Spread onto the waxed paper. Make a single layer and do not overlap. It may take more than one baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. They are done when the edges are slightly brown and when you shake the baking sheet they make a rustling sound. They will be crunchy, salty, and have only the faintest taste of kale left. They tast like chips! They are also good with seasoning salt, garlic powder, or parmesan

You can find videos of this on youtube. Just type in Kale Chips.
Let me know what you think! :) Trust me, they are sooo good and addictive.
