Prep time: 2 min • Cook time: 10-12 min • Yield: 3 servings
Ingredients
4 cups raw kale, washed, dried, and torn into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Salt to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place kale in a large bowl and pour the coconut oil over the top. Toss the leaves with two wooden spoons until completely coated with oil, about 2 minutes.
Spread the kale on a baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle generously with salt.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy and lightly browned on the edges. Keep an eye on the kale chips! They can change from brown to burnt quite quickly.
Remove baking sheet and allow to cool on cooling rack for 3 minutes. The chips are crispier after they cool.
Tip: Eat these chips fairly soon after baking-- they can begin to wilt after about 30 minutes out of the oven.
Vary It! Adapting your favorite potato chip flavors to kale chips is easy! Just add additional spices along with the salt before baking. For barbecue flavor, add ½ teaspoon chili powder mixed with ½ teaspoon paprika. For an onion flavor, toss the fresh kale in my French Onion Bone Broth powder!

My Perfect Paleo Thanksgiving Menu
by Dr. Kellyann
on Nov 10 2021
I believe I finally have my Thanksgiving Day down to a science. I know it's going to be crazy busy, so I’ll start the day off with my meditation ritual, sitting quietly in gratitude.
(As I gently reminded you (wink) in recent posts, pouring from an empty cup is no good for anyone, and prioritizing pre-holiday self-care should be non-negotiable. So I’m taking my own advice.)
As for the menu, it’s going to be simple. I know what my family likes to eat, and I stick to their favorites — and basics — for the most part. Sure, there will be moments when pulling it all off seems impossible, and fear sets in that one, or two, side dishes are going to be cold when I serve them. But for the most part, when I sit down to enjoy that Thanksgiving meal with my family, I’ll be glad to have put in the hard work that made my family smile… and made me smile too.
Whatever your Thanksgiving ritual is, I hope you have a wonderful day... and always remember that nutritious food can be delicious food!
Here's what's on my menu this year...
Roast Turkey with Leeks and Apple
The key to this amazingly juicy roast turkey is stuffing it with leeks, carrots, green apple, and celery.

Mashed Cauliflower

Grain-Free Stuffing
Yes, if you're gluten-free or grain-free, you can still enjoy stuffing! Check out this delicious recipe for your turkey’s favorite side dish, plus several other ways to use this yummy stuffing all year ‘round.

Roasted Winter Squash
Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving unless the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg is in the air. This roasted winter squash is the perfect nutrition powerhouse for these spices.

Cranberry Apple Sauce
Antioxidant-rich cranberries are a must-have for me at Thanksgiving and trust me when I say... this recipe is the best!

Paleo Pumpkin Pie
Today is not the day we want to skip dessert, but we can make this Thanksgiving favorite a little healthier.
