Looking for the perfect seasoning for some kale chips, anyone tried making them? I like spicy food so maybe curry, chili pepper or paprika seasoning?
Thanks!

    This reminds me that I have kale in the fridge!

    Try a pinch of cayenne, garlic powder, sea salt and smoked paprika, makes a nice spicy - almost BBQ - flavor.

    Chili powder (or chipotle powder or chipotles in adobo when you coat them with olive oil) and a little very finely grated lime zest and sea salt, so yummy!

    I saw a recipe for garlic and red pepper kale chips somewhere that sounded good.

    I have never tried this one, but it has all the flavors I like!

    I've thought about trying to make green curry ones by using a little green curry paste in the spice "rub".

    I've never made them...do they really satisfy the chip craving... I think I just need the crunch factor with some zip?
    How long do you bake them?

    old bay seasoning is also nice. spray w/ olive oil spray and cook in microwave until crispy. good stuff

    I usually use similar spices to Venus' ideas, and also add a lot of nutritional yeast flakes for a nice protein and flavor boost. :)

    They do crunch, if you ever have crispy seaweed from the Chinese takeaway its exactly that. I do about 15 mins or until the kale feels crisp when checked.

    I have always just done salt and pepper. If you add enough black pepper, it can certainly give it a bite!
    Man I miss kale chips... my kale didn't grow right this year, so I didn't get to make any :cry:

    We love kale chips. My husband's favorite seasoning when making his is Nashville hot seasoning. I love the Ray's stinging honey garlic (has some spice).
