You can make any kind you like at home. Have you tried carrot chips, zucchini chips, beet chips, eggplant chips, pretty much anything you can slice can be made into chips. I highly suggest making sweet potato chips even if you don't care for regular potatoes. As they are very healthy for the body!
Oh and don't forget fruit chips.. apple chips and pretty much anything else, if you have a dehydrator you have even more variety.
All you need is a cookie sheet covered in foil or parchment paper & a Misto (which will rock your world if you've not tried one before!!) Oh, aaaaahhh yea and an Oven, you'll need one of those too!

As a non-starchy veg, kale is indeed lower carb than potato or corn.1 -
I guess its cause I'm looking for chips low in carbs.
Thank you☺

Anything that's been deep fried in oil is going to be pretty heavy on the calories.
I say have a single serving of chips that you really like and fit that serving into your calories for the day.

Half the calories of regular chips because they're not fried. Also gluten free, vegan and kosher if any of those are important to you. Real ingredients, no additives or preservatives, artificial colours or flavours. No cholesterol, no trans fats.
Best of all, these suckers are truly delicious. I actually prefer them over regular chips now.
Yes, they're that good. The sea salt ones are my favourites.
The barbeque and sea salt are both awesome. I love the 100 calorie bags.1 -

Those single serving bags are great! Easy to have your snack and then stop when the bag's empty. They are hard to find in Canada, though, so I usually buy the big bags, then weigh them into the 100 cal snack size serving of 23 grams each, and put them into sandwich bags. Voila!0 -

The video was about sweet potato chips, though, wasn't it? To quote from the post in question: "I highly suggest making sweet potato chips even if you don't care for regular potatoes." To the extent it suggested to OP that such chips would be lower carb, that's not the case. My reading was that OP was saying that she was going to try things other than kale, as shown in the video, which may or may not have included the sweet potato option (I don't usually consider potatoes or sweet potatoes "vegetables" from a culinary POV, but some do).
Some of the other suggestions (but not sweet potatoes) would have been low carb, others (like apples) not so much.
Most of the vegetable ones would have been on the lower carb side, of course -- even carrots are lots lower than potatoes, but it all depends on how few carbs one actually wants. (Random aside: I don't worry about carbs in and of themselves, and also just don't like chips that much unless at a Mexican restaurant -- they are vehicles for salt and I can find other such vehicles, like a pickle!)0 -
Kale chips taste great are are very easy to make.0

Make your own. Try a variety of vegetables. Two kitchen implements that will really help are a Mandoline and an Actifry. The Mandoline for really thin slices and the Actifry for low fat high heat.0
