Directions
I have seen kale chips all over the place lately. And with good reason — kale is in prime season right now.
I should know…each week my farm box contents listing of kale, kale and more kale has got me looking for new ways to use it. Okay, not just any ways to use it, but ways to get others to eat it who aren’t so convinced they like it.
To be honest, I used to be scared of kale. Now that I’ve got a couple of good recipes under my belt, it’s a little less threatening. If you don’t normally cook with or eat kale, this would be a great way to introduce your family to this healthy green.
Great as a snack during a movie, or anytime really. Flavor them with your favorite spices, and you’ll be able to tweak these to whatever your craving may be.
If you don’t have green kale, any variety of kale will work.
Notes:
Be sure the kale isn’t soaked in the olive oil coating. They will not crisp up if they are too wet.
The kale needs to be in a single layer on the baking sheet. If it’s overlapping, it will steam and get soggy. If you have to, use two baking sheets.
I’m not sure how well it stores overnight, but six hours after baking, they are still crisp.

Marisa,
I’d store them in a Tupperware container, or even in a freezer bag (carefully) 🙂
I’ve always wanted to try these. Any suggestions for storage so they don’t all crunch up? I’m guessing something like a big tupperware container 🙂
