Chinese Five-Spice Kale Chips

Chinese five-spice powder is a mixture of five spices: star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, and fennel. It gives a sweet, salty, sour, bitter and pungent taste to dishes. Don’t have it? Try a simplified Asian three-spice powder: mix equal parts ground cloves, ginger, and cinnamon. Either mix is perfect for this kale chip side dish, that's a nutrition powerhouse and packed with flavor.
