I simply cannot get enough of these crunchy, healthy yum yums!

I use Italian kale, since it bakes better, and all I put on is a bit of olive oil and a dash of salt!

Anyone else have this crazy kale addition like me?

hehehehehehehehehehehe

    i love Kale chips too, we toss them in avocado oil, with a dash of sea salt and black pepper and then bake them on two cookie sheets. it's probably as close as i'll ever get to the crunch of potato chips again, haha. no idea how they can be preserved, I've seen bags of them at the local Bulk Barn, but at $5 per small bag, I wasn't about to try them.

    Great thread, it just reminded me I have some kale in the fridge that needs chipping.

    I like to sprinkle a bit of chilli powder and paprika on mine for the flavour kick.

    how long do you guys bake for, at what temp? and how do you store them so they stay crunchy and not get soft?

    We mist them w/grapeseed oil, salt, and a little parmesan cheese at the end! I usually bake them hot and fast, but I read an article about lower and slower so may try that next time.

    I cook them at around 280 for 15-20 minutes then mix them around a bit/turn the pan and give them another 10-20 minutes after that. I check them a couple of times and take them out once they've all gotten nice and crispy.

    I have no idea how to store them though, they're usually all eaten within a few hours.

    Am I doing it wrong? Mine were like fish food. Flaky, not chips.

    I ❤ Kale
    I am making kale for dinner tonight actually to go with my fish.
    I have never made kale chips, although I should! I buy them every time I go to Trader Joes, so I am sure making them is a hell of a lot cheaper :)

    I primarily use the Italian kale, since it crisps up correctly. I'm still new to making my own, so I don't know about other kinds, really. All I know is at 275 for 18 minutes, they come out crispy and ready to eat!

    As far as storage goes, I put them in sandwich baggies and bring them to work for a few days (if they last that long!).

    :blush:
