Lay out kale on a baking sheet. Spray with a light coating of olive oil and salt. Let bake at 450 for about 5 minutes, or until crispy. Don't let it turn brown though. Let cool and enjoy =)

They taste incredible and you can control portion size by making it yourself!

    I do this but at a lower temperature so it doesn't burn- 325 for 10-15 minutes. My CSA gave me a ton of kale...In fact, I just had some kale chips with my lunch today!

    Careful with the salt also, the first time I did this it was way too salty! I guess kale already has a salty taste, so a little goes a long way!

    This. I did the same thing lol. I think it's just that they're so thin and light...it doesn't take much seasoning to overpower the chip.

    i used to buy kale for the guinea pigs. I haven't bought it in quite some time now that they've been gone. I saw Hungry Girl do an episode on kale chips though. Looked interesting.

    I tried it after watching Hungry girl. Yuck, I must have done something wrong. I might try it again, not sure.

    Kale isn't for everyone. If you like Spinach, it has a milder flavor and you can do it the same way. My friend calls it the pork rinds for vegetarians. lol =)
