Hey friends!

So every now and again I get on the health bandwagon! The thing that appealed to me the MOST about this recipe was the CHIPS parts of Kale Chips!!! LOL. So I decided to give it a crack! And they worked out! Woohoo! I've had Kale Salads before and was like, GROSS! It's like just trying to eat a whole bunch of GRASS! Haha. But I was really pleasantly surprised at whole delicious these turned out!

So I've included the recipe and instructions below the picture!

Step 1:

Line 2 large trays with baking paper.

Preheat the oven to 180ยฐC or 160ยฐC fan forced.

Step 2

Wash your Kale! It does come from the earth and bugs aren't strangers to Kale either, but it's really important the Kale it DRY before you put it in the oven, otherwise it will be all soggy. Due to the nature of Kale it might need a lettuce spinner to get it dry!

Trim the stems from the Kale and rip it into small sized pieces.

Step 3

Combine olive oil, and your spice of choice into a large bowl. (Not all the spices at one time, if you want different flavours, make each one in a different bowl!) Mix in the Kale and toss it around to coat the Kale it in the mixture. Don't drench it in oil though!! Start with less and add more if you think it needs it.

Spread the Kale out on the trays, make sure they are not overlapping each other.

Step 4

Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, and then rotate the trays (or swap from the top to the bottom) and then bake for another 10 minutes, or until the Kale is crisp.

Step 5

You can add a little salt and let cool for a few minutes, and then eat!

I might be a bit weird but my favourite out of the difference spices I tried was actually the Curry Powder! It reminded me of Curried Eggs my Mum used to make us as kids! Important not too put too much spice though as it clogs up

Have you made Kale Chips before? What spices or flavouring did you use?! Would you eat these?

Beautiful, I love Kale and I loooove smoked Paprika lol. I have a lot of Kale recipes on my Youtube page. I will try to bring one of the latest salads I did to here today. It can be really tasty if made with the right ingredients and cut properly. There is a real nasty bitter flavor in the central arteries of the plant that some times people dont know to trim.

Cool will look out for it @healthyrecipe ! It takes a lot of work to trim it down really, considering how much get you at the end, so I can understand how people get sloppy with the trimming and then think it's gross! Haha

ย  ยท ย 8 years agoย 

Lol, just have to look for as big the leaves as possible, the only part you have to really trim is the main big artery, the others are ok and are not really bitter.

True that, a little time at the market saves time in the kitchen! :)

Kale chips are delightful, and can even be made healthier without the olive oil...I use Balsamic vinegar and lots of spices for seasoning.

ย  ยท ย 8 years agoย 

Oooo I LOVE Balsamic Vinegar! Why have I not tried that? Next on the list, thanks for the comment @innerlight ! Gave you a follow for that gold nugget of advice haha.

Technically it's cabbage? It's overpriced green leafy stuff really.... haha.

Definitely the best way to eat kale.

ย  ยท ย 8 years agoย 

The only way even? Hahaha
