I was grocery shopping last week and came across Kale Chips. They were about $7.00 for a small container! I had some major sticker shock. I’ve been really proactive lately about getting more fruits and veggies into our diets. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and do a little research on making my own Kale Chips. Well, let me tell you its ridiculously easy and all you need to buy is a bunch of Kale which costs a couple of dollars. YEP!
Kale is SO GOOD for you. I’ve juiced it before, but I think this is my favorite way to eat it yet.

Once used primarily as a frilly garnish, kale is gaining recognition as an immunity-boosting, cancer-fighting cruciferous vegetable. Vitamins A, B-6, C, E and K are in kale’s list of essential micronutrients. In addition to its vitamin content, kale offers dietary fiber, calcium, iron, manganese and a host of antioxidant phytonutrients. Steamed, boiled or sauteed, kale provides a wealth of vitamins to support your health.
Crispy Kale Chips
Ingredients:
- 1 head of kale, washed and thoroughly dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Remove the ribs from the kale and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil and sea salt. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. {I turned the oven off after the recommended 20 minutes and left the kale in the oven to get really crispy like a chip}.
- Eat immediately! You won’t be able to stop!

These look really good! I havent always wanted to make my own kale chips but never have. I once tried the same concept with spinach leaves but they were too thin and ended up breaking apart. Yours look delicious though. Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to try this myself.
They look really good! I've got to try that. I planned on buying organic kale this week to juice so maybe I need to get more for these chips. I wonder if the kids would like the taste?
I have been dying to give some kale chips a try; I'm not too much on green foods, but I need to get the nutritional benefits. I'll be giving this a try soon!
I love Kale in any way shape or form:) Planted it in my garden this year.
Yeah Kale!!!!
