Introduction

Move over chips and popcorn! A healthy, salty, crunchy snack is moving in! Move over chips and popcorn! A healthy, salty, crunchy snack is moving in!
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1 bunch of Kale
    1 Tbsp. Olive oils
    Salt to taste

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350.
Take parchment and cut to fit a baking sheet.
Clean and remove thick stem from kale. I just tear rather than using a knife. Get the salad spinner out or make sure the kale is quiet dry with paper towels.
Drizzle kale with oil and sprinkle with salt. Get your hands in the mix to evenly incorporate the oil and salt.
Lay them out on the baking sheet and Roast until slightly brown and clearly crunchy. Cool and enjoy!

    I found that if I lowered the oven temp to 275 degrees, and let them stay in a little longer, they don't get burned as easily. I also made them with pizza seasoning and garlic salt -Too good to stop! - 4/10/11

    I made these with Jalapeno infused Olive Oil and added 1/2 Teaspoon of Italian spice vinegar and used Fat Free Cheese seasoning instead of salt. It was hard to eat only a single portion, they are addicting! - 1/19/11

    My version is to use Spicy Toasted Sesame oil. A splash of low sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. TOTALLY ADDICTED! I just bought 2 bags of Kale at Trader Joe's just for this purpose! - 2/8/12

    These are my favorite snack! I use a little garlic powder and sometimes chipotle powder and reduce the salt to make them lower sodium. Still yummy! - 1/10/11

    Today is my second time making them in the toaster oven. They come out good. And my family won't given them a try, so whenever I make them they will be all mine. Gotta love having a healthy snack only you will eat in the house. - 6/21/13

    An owner of a local healthy cafe makes them and told me this exact recipe. I can't believe how good this. And after reading about the jalapeno infused Olive Oil, I have a few thoughts about a lot more infusing. I also added a slight dusting of parmesan/romano cheese over the kale. Thanks - 11/5/11

    Was really good! I set my oven temp to 275 also, as someone in the comments suggested, and I baked for about 30 minutes. In addition to the olive oil, I used generous amounts of black and red pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. So delicious! - 7/19/16

    I made these Kale Chips & even my boyfriend liked them I will be eating these instead of potato chips.
    I did change one ingredient though instead of salt I used Mrs Dash trying to lower my sodium intake as well.

    I enjoy fresh kale and this was over the top! I didn't want them too crispy like a chip but did want them to be cooked just a tad. Don't use salt so pepper is my spice of choice. Too tasty, healthy and delish! - 2/27/17

    Really liked the texture, but thought that it was a little too dry. I tried different seasonings (sea salt, garlic salt, hickory salt, and a salt with some herbs in it) on different sections and liked them all - so did my siblings! - 12/9/15

    The worst crap ever! I've tried them 4 times, might as well eat brillo soap pads, just awful stuff, and Water Cress actually has more nutrition, don't be fooled by the advertising company the Kale ranchers hired, it ain't the best stuff at all!!! - 10/11/15

    I cooked enough to fill a 9x10 small cookie sheet, I spread them out so that they weren't piled up in a bunch, I made 1/2 with salt & 1/2 with garlic seasoning and salt. I should of made more because they shrunk during cooking. They were very good and I would definitely make them again. Only more. - 3/3/15
