    A coworker made these with Kale and brought it to work when I was on weight watchers... "0" points and very good :-)

    Kale chips are wonderful! Use a fancy seasoned salt to make them unique!

    bump, have to try these, it would be a great way to use the spinach from the garden at the end of summer.

    Just wanted to bump this - just made these and they're SO good. They're a great alternative to chips.

    I also do this with kale. My tips for making kale chips:

    - separate out the leaf from the thick stalks to eliminate the bitter tasta
    - Make sure you spread them out into only one layer and stir them up (gently!) after 10 minutes or so to make sure they're crispy
    - over times will differ, so check often after the first 10-15 min
    - I toss mine with a bit of olive oil and rice vinegar, then sprinkle with parmesan. You don't need much oil/vinegar- too much and the chip won't crisp well
    - don't plan on dipping them in anything as it makes a fragile chip

    I didn't think they'd be very good, but was VERY surprised. Definitely give this a try if you haven't!

    You'll want to use fresh spinach leaves. i use baby spinich and they are the perfect size for little chips!

    I just watched this idea on MsHcGGirl and instead of tossing the leaves in oil, she mentioned spraying them with coconut oil spray. I think I'll look for the spray and try that to see if I like it better.

    I just tossed a batch of baby spinach into the oven. I hope they turn out well! Thanks for the idea!

    YUM! I think I might have used a tad bit much olive oil. Next time I will be a little less generous. The leaves that had less oil on them crisped up nicely. Very good snack. I have one lonely ole sweet potatoe in the pantry. think I will try slicing it really thin and sprinkling with cinnamon and baking! Thanks for the ideas!

    Sweet potato is also very yummy with olive oil, sea salt, and cayenne pepper for a little kick ( I'm a sucker for sweet and salty combos!)

    I've heard of kale chips before and was a little wary, but I love spinach so I will for sure give them a try, maybe with a little bit of parmesan cheese.
