Addictive! I eat my body weight in these. I can go through a whole head of kale in one sitting and don't feel guilty about it! Check often when cooking as the leaves tend to burn quickly. I have used a lower heat setting (350) with good success as well.
These kale chips were crunchy and delicious! I actually blow dried them to get them dry as towel drying didn't seem to do the job. I baked them on 2 sheets at 375 degrees for 5 mins then I switched the sheets and baked for another 4 mintues. They were perfect! But every oven is different. Next time I will try with some different spices.
Betcha can't eat just one... Delicious! I was very surprised at how much I liked these. You HAVE to make sure the kale is dry otherwise you'll end up with steamed kale instead of crispy kale. I would also suggest tossing the olive oil and kale together spreading on the baking sheets - then adding salt (or whatever seasoning you are using). First batch for me was WAY too salty second batch not enough salt. I also add a little garlic powder and onion powder! Seasoning salt is another good choice for a little more flavor! FYI - To each his/her own BUT.... although cooking sprays may be quicker please take a look at the ingriedient list - they contain butane and propane! Why ruin healthy kale with that yuck....just saying!:)
Tried it and failed I wish I knew what I did wrong. Mine came out burnt and made the whole house stink! 25 min seems like a really long time.
awesome! These were so amazingly awesome! I will be making these every week! I accidentally used too much salt but they were still deliciously light & crispy. I think I may have almost burned them but I liked the flavor. Since I was using a small convection oven once I saw they were looking a little brown I turned it down to 325. & let them cook for a few more minutes. So easy to do! Highly recommended! Pros: crunchy & light Cons: can over-cook rather quickly.
These chips were amazing! These were really good! I actually love kale now;) I made a kale smoothie earlier and it was horrible. I didn't like it. But these chips are really delicious! I put a little too much salt more than what was given but otherwise it was yummy! They were gone in 2 minutes! I would definitely make these again:) Pros: Healthy delicious great snack low calorie Cons: NOTHING!
Smoked kale We put ours on the smoker. It blows away the oven version. I do agree though that it is difficult to cook them - they are either slightly moist or burnt. I will check them and take off what is done as need be and let the others bake longer Pros: yummy salty snack Cons: hard to get just right
Cooking time completely off Cooking times says 8-12 minutes. I decided to cook them 6 minutes to start off with. When I opened up my oven after 6 minutes a got a face full of smoke and two trays of black kale. Tried again with the second batch for 4 minutes. and that was much closer to being correct. Kale isn't cheap so I'm a little bummed that I wasted half of my money cooking as directed. Pros: healthy Cons: when cooked as directed your kale will burn and your house will fill up with smoke
Great way to eat your veggies! Boy oh boy. I can eat a week's worth of green veggies in one sitting with these kale chips. Delish! I agree with another reviewer that salt should be added sparingly. I used a good quality and very flavorful olive oil so I really didn't need much salt. I started by cutting the stems with a sharp knife but the easiest way to prepare the chips is simply to pull the leaves off the stems. Spin them dry in a salad spinner and these are ready to pop in the oven. I will definitely make these again. Who knows maybe I can even convince my teenager to eat some. Pros: Easy and fast Cons: None
