Kale Chips--a.k.a Seriously Addictive Snack!

[violetsky1216]

  OH MY GOODNESS!!! I just cooked these for my kids my son looked at me like I was nuts and he won't eat them cause they look like lettuce but my daughter and I tried them they really do taste just like chips!!!! JUST LIKE THEM!!! I am totally shocked and in awe right now!!

Thanks for the recipe To everyone these are really freaking GOOD!!!!!!!

I was very skeptical about this recipe, but intrigued enough to try it. Who'd a thunk it! They're very, very tasty. What an easy way to get some greens in your diet. Even if you don't like greens, give these a try. I did cook them longer than the recipe called for--just eye-balled it until it looked like all the pieces were pretty crisp. I'm trying to hold off eating them all until bookpapa gets back so he can try them. Dunno if they'll make it, though.

These are surprisingly good. I had my doubts but since leafy greens are in season here and we're drowning in them, I figured this recipe would at least use up a bunch. I did as bookmama and baked them longer with an eye on how they were turning out. Most importantly, I was out of kale but had a lot of chard on my hands. So, yes, I used chard (big green leaf with red veins and stems, in this case) instead of kale and it still tasted great to both of us! Can't wait to experiment with other seasonings. Thank you for an excellent and original recipe!

These are AWESOME!!!!

I have to add that no picture will do them justice. For quite a while I kept passing these by because I didn't think they looked particularly good in the pictures. Don't let the pictures fool you, though. You can see by the reviews that everyone liked them. When I saw the review by Violetsky1216 I tried them and she's right--"these are really freaking GOOD!!!!!!" We've had them several times now. I have found that if you manage to have any left and they get limp in the fridge, about a minute in the toaster oven will crisp them up again.

i am kind of skeptical and I dontknow waht kale is but you say they are awsome soooo

what is kale and what does it taste like??

[bookmama]

Kale is a leafy green. It has sort of ruffly leaves with a tough stem running through each leaf. You trim off the stems. Other than spinach and varieties of lettuce, I don't think I've had any other leafy greens and kale does not taste like spinach or lettuce so I'm not sure what to tell you about what it tastes like. It tastes green.

hummm...Ive got to try this...I can get my hands on almost unlimited amounts of Kale...Id have to say that kale is slightly bitter tasting but not really disagreeable. I live it. Gonna try these "chips" esp. If it will keep me from potato chips!

Amazing!  I used chard instead of kale and it came out great.  My chard was even a little old and limp, but it didn't matter.  I kinda over salted them, unfortunately, but I'll know better next time.  Thanks for the great idea.

Kale tastes like kale. You have to try it. I like it sauted with leeks and lemon juice. I'm going to try this recipe tonight. I can't resist.
Off subject...
Violin2424, your dog is giving me dirty looks. He doesn't look very vegan.

These were soooo goood.  I had never had Kale before, but this was definatley a good first experience.  They really do taste like Lays Potato Chips.....very very good......

im excited to try this! it looks like a great snack, but has anyone experimented with any seasonings? (garlic poweder, oregano, itlian seasoning, mrs dash, etc)

I just made these with a friend of mine for one of our "baking-dinner parties" and they were FANTASTIC! We just stood around the pan and ate them all right after they came out of the oven. I'd so highly recommend these to go alongside a grilled tofu sandwich or basically anything for that matter. These are a great and easy way to get a serving or two of greens in. Phenomenal. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'll definitely be making these again soon.
