Kale Chips???
Replies

we recently gave these a shot.
blehck! Did not care for them at all.
YMMV
Agreed - they are NOTHING like potato chips.
They were awful!!0 -
I saw these for the first time about a month ago. A friend made them. Didn't give them a try since they weren't ready yet but, I've heard good things. Plus, I'm a big kale fan so, take that into consideration.
Give them a try!0 -
I've made them before. They are nothing like potato chips or veggie crisps. Very light and crispy. I liked them, but I love kale made in all kinds of ways (raw, steamed, in soups, in salads, it's so good for you!)0

I love kale chips.......The key is to not overseason them. I just toss them in olive oil then bake at 425 till crisp but not black. After they are done I sprinkle sea salt on them. My kids even love them.0

I think these have a similar taste as the roasted broccoli. I am not a fan of Kale in any other form than these chips. I like to put a little red pepper on mine to kick it up a bit!0

I tried this, and its pretty good!0

Try eggplant "chips" they are FANTASTIC! Haven't tried the kale, but doesn't look like the reviews are too good.0
-
tip: do not leave them too long because when they turn brown they turn bitter.
I cook mine with salt and nutrional yeast.0 -
Yuck Yuck Yuck is all I can say. Bitter, nasty greens - I felt like a goat. I can do my spinach smoothies, I eat kale in salads etc, but as chips they were disgusting. I put time into massaging them, oil, garlic, seasoning, I did it all . .0

I haven't had the chance to try making them myself, but I have had premade ones that were sprinkled with low cal ranch, and those were DELISH! Now that my hubby and I have a dehydrator, I'm hoping to give it a try soon!0

My mom made some a while back and they texture was a little different but overall they werent too bad. I would like to make some myself if that helps and have found several recipies for them and they are suppose to be one of the top super foods!0

I found a recipe for these kale chips and am just a wee bit nervous about giving them a try... anyone have any reviews they would like to share? I will add the recipe in case anyone would like to give em a whirl!
2 cups fresh kale leaves
olive oil non stick spray
salt to taste
Preheat oven to 425
Spray pan and spritz leaves with non stick spray
Sprinkle leaves with salt
bake for 5-8 minutes
Suposedly a good alternative for potato chips...
I use to make these all the time!!! Love Love Love them... My 8 yr old son will even eat them.0 -
KALE RULES. I eat kale almost every day. Kale chips are delicious. I use green kale and sea salt. You could use Bragg liquid amino. Yum!0
-
Ive just bought a bag of the shredded kale, and tossed it in oil, spread it onto a baking tray, sprinkled salt on and threw it in the oven for 4 minutes high. Its like the seaweed you get at a chinese resturant..... gorgeous. My 8 year old thinks its beautiful.... another batch going in!!
Definately worth a try - and a massive bag was only 94p from Asda..0 -
i've heard so much about kale chips since joining MFP but have never made them myself - until RIGHT NOW! and OMG they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD! i love salty snacks like pretzels and potato chips but obviously they aren't good for you - now i have my new favourite salty crunchy snack!
YUM YUM YUM. so quick and easy to make - and addictive! i just inhaled a large bowl in like a minute. no joke! and will be making more later this weekend for hubby to try (who is at work right now)
i'm a convert!0 -
My daughter in law makes them all the time and the grandkids even like them. I haven't tried yet, but I'm game. I usually only use Kale in Portugese Soup!0
-
too much trouble in my opinion0
-
I make them at least once or twice a week! I love them. I buy a bunch of kale and rip up enough pieces (leaves only, don't use the tough stems) to cover my baking sheet. I toss the leaves in real EVOO (they aren't as good with the spray), then put lawry's low sodium seasoning and red pepper flakes. Bake for 10 minutes at 375. Amazing. Boyfriend surprisingly likes them too.0

I have yet to try out a Kale Chip recipe, but I hear good things! Some people dip them in ketchup, haha. I would probably make a spicy version!0

Read this thread and decided to give them a try! They were awesome, and even my husband liked them.
I used cut bagged kale from walmart, pulled off any hard stems (there were two pieces), put a smidge of olive oil in my hands and tossed the kale around to coat it, spread on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkled with a dash of cajun seasoning, baked for 10 min
I wouldn't necessarily cook them until the edges brown, especially if you have small pieces. Mine were all still perfectly green, but dried out and crispy. YUM
Kale (at least the one I bought) tastes like lemony/salty spinach. You don't need to add much salt at all because the kale has already got a salty flavor.0 -
I am a kale *lover*. I've made chips and they were yummy. Fresh Kale from the garden or Farmers Market tastes better than what you buy in the grocery store. I add Kale to nearly everything. Yummy.......0
-
I like them a lot. But I wouldn't say they are the same as a potato chip. You have to like kale or you won't like these chips.0
-
I made them before and didn't think them. I think I added WAY TOO much salt.0
-
I have had these. They really weren't bad. I liked them enough to try them myself. However, I had no recipe and figured how hard can it be to dry some pieces of green stuff? Wrong answer.:grumble: I didn't use oil or Pam, didn't salt, over cooked them. The smell was way bad! :sick:
Can we say nasty!? Now that I have seen a recipe, I will pri try it again. :laugh:0 -
For those who thought Kale taste bitter. Try placing them in a vase of ice water before coating them.0
-
fresh kale is a key - I grew a large amount of kale on my farm last summer - and it turned out wonderfully. Although much of it I powdered and sprinkle on just about everything as it's so healthy - but the chips were good too. However - I tried the same thing with store bought kale - UCK! - so fresh really matters on this - and there are also different varieties of kale. I suppose that matters. Kale can be strong - so young fresh leaves are important.0
