Fitness Friday: Kale Chips

So, for the longest time I’ve wanted to make kale chips, I just never got around to it. Lately the kale in my winter CSA has been a bit on the dry side, so I figured now would be the perfect time to give it a try. I’ve read many variations on the recipe, instructions to bake from 350F to 450F, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with oil and salt. Various kinds of oils or salt.

My first attempt was with Pam at 450F. About 5 minutes after putting them in I went to check on them and realized they were burned. Oops. So for my second attempt I drizzled olive oil on them, cracked some sea salt over them, stuck them in the oven and watched them like a hawk. Score! Nice and crunchy. Even the stems, which I was supposed to remove but it was difficult because of the variety, were tasty. It was more roasted than crispy, but the oil and salt were finger-licking good. Way better for you than chips!

  5. Hmmm Kale chips huh? I never would have thought of that. We’ve just started making kale green smoothies and to my surprise our kids love them. I wonder if you could use coconut oil on the Kale chips since heating extra virgin olive oil past it’s smoke point (200-250 degrees) is harmful.

  6. I’m so glad you made kale chips! I love them! It’s funny how surprised I was when I first made them- they’re really good! I’ve made them both in the oven and dehydrator and they do seem to be a bit tastier in the oven..but crunchier in the dehydrator. But still horray for kale chips!
