Wow! I just discovered kale after going veg. And I was so excited to find this recipe. I oversalted, out of fear it wouldn't be great-it was! I wonder though if the heat kills the health benefits.

Yum

I can't wait to try the kale crisp but i'm going to omit the oil and use only cooking spray for a guilt free snack.

Can't....stop....eating...kale...chips.

At the local farmers market I was told that the red kale is sweeter than the green, I bought both and made chips with them. Not much taste difference both were good. I used spray Pam instead of olive oil.

I made the Kale chips without oil as I was recently on a no oil plan as well and they still turned nice and crisp. I just left them in the oven about five minutes longer than suggested and they turned out great.No burnt flavour or anything. I also added a little dill and sprayed them with a little balsalmic vinegar before cooking and this made them very tangy!

Theresa just bake at a lower temp usually 150-170F but watch carefully. You can also microwave them turning evey 10 seconds or so watch carefully or they can burn easily.

I love baked kale chips. Have used sea salt, as well as Mrs Dash seasoning herb 'salts'.

i am on a no oil food plan -- other than a dehydrator, is there any way to make the kale chips crisp?

They are also good sprinkled with nutritional yeast and Bragg's 21 spices instead of salt. I cooked them with the yeast but I might try to sprinkle them after they're cooked as well.

I made this yesterday...I've never had or cooked kale before. I added garlic powder and the salt while I was tossing the kale with the oil. The first batch I did was just as the recipe called for. It needed more flavor for my taste. Also, I didn't need to bake them any more than the first 15 minutes...not sure why? I am at a high altitude (9000 ft)? They seemed to have a slight burnt taste to them? I think next time I'll try my dehydrator...

If you have access to a dehydrator, or leave the oven door open a bit if you don't, you can keep these raw! Don't try with a gas oven though - fumes. It takes a little longer, but you get more out of your kale that way!

I think the kale needs more flavor, maybe garlic grated and a small bit of lemon juice after it's crisp. I have at times cooked kale with a chopped large tomato,it tasted great.

My roommates were very skeptical about this recipe, as was I! Mostly because I am not a fan of the bitter taste of raw kale, but cooked as chip - delicious. It took me a couple of times to get the right crispiness and amount of olive oil. Make sure that none of the leaves are overlapping each other, or some will be soggy and others browned. It took me a long time (about an hour!) to make this at first, but I am not the world's most savvy cook. Which may explain why I put garlic salt on the last batch - but I thought it was delicious!

These were delicious. The only thing I'd point out is that, while baking the kale, you can't pile any leaves of kale on top of each other. I did this because I was running out of room on the baking sheet, but it prevented the leaves at the bottom from getting crisp. Also, if you can put leftovers in the fridge and reheat them briefly in the toaster oven so they're good as new.
