Kale Chips???

I eat kale chips almost every day. I love them.:bigsmile:

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.

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.

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:

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.
