Pen Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I have some kale I'd like to turn into kale chips. I want them to be so good they will get all eaten up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Liking kale? I bake mine according to the recipe in Isa Does It. I’ll have to look it up when I get home. I make mine oil free and just bake them in the oven without adding anything. We really like kale, tho. I haven’t made them in awhile which my youngest has taken to reminding me about once every couple of days or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I wash it, shake/pat it dry, tear it in bite sized pieces, spread it one layer in a large cookie sheet (one with sides, so maybe not a cookie sheet, but the sides are high like a cake pan more like 1" high), spray with olive oil, lightly salt and pepper. I cook it at 350 for maybe 6 minutes, rotate pan 180 degrees (oven cooks slightly faster in back), cook another 5-6 minutes - watching closely so they don't get too done. Remove and eat. Yummy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Wash, pat dry, toss with a touch of olive oil and salt, bake on cookie sheet for a few minutes until crispy. I like mine sprinkled with nutritional yeast. Yum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Watch it very carefully. It can go from crispy to burnt in a minute or so. I cook mine at like 250. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 325 for 15 minutes. Make sure it’s *really* dry. I do not add oil or anything else. I’m usually multi-tasking when I do it so I doubt I flip, stir, or turn anything. And yeah, Laurie’s right. Watch it carefully-ish. Burnt is not tasty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livetoread Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I get rid of any big stems and tear into pieces. Then I put some oil on my hands and massage the kale, making sure I get each piece well. I put it on parchment paper in a single layer and bake on a lower temp (about 275) stirring every ten minutes. It usually takes about 20 min or so. Oh, and I grind some sea salt over it before baking. Then I take it out of the oven and eat half of it before it even gets a chance to cool!

Rockhopper Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Substitute thinly sliced potatoes for the kale. Substitute peanut oil for the olive oil. Substitute deep frying for baking. Keep the salt, and add more Just kidding! I love kale chips, actually -- just in the mood to have fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the mistake once of not drying it carefully and it never crisped up. I do toss mine in a little oil with red pepper flakes or a hot sauce (such as Cholula brand). I find collard chips easier to make simply because not being curly, collards are easier to get dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
