With the New Year, gym memberships are at an annual high and juice cleanses are selling out left and right. And while 2015 will surely be filled with lots of new weight loss fads, there is one trend that should remain. Kale.
I know green juices and kale salads are “so last year” but after a season when we’ve already spent plenty of money on gifts and traveling, kale is one of the easiest ways to cut calories in your everyday life without breaking the bank. Get out your plastic bags and tupperware to do some completely “free” (thanks for the meal plan Mom and Dad) TDR shopping to make this easy recipe for guilty free snacking.

Cook Time: 5-10 minutes
Total Time: 10-15 minutes

1. Pre-heat your oven to 275°F.
2. Lightly coat your baking sheet in oil to prevent sticking.
