Don’t knock it until you try it. I swear that roasted veggies at high temperatures (400-450F) drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper are the best thing ever. But what is even better, are the veggies that you wouldn’t think of. Broccoli? So good! I love brussel sprouts done this way too. But Kale is a revelation. Eat them right away (… like say right off the sheet pan?) and you won’t be disappointed.
Baked Kale Chips
(serves 2)
Preheat oven to 400F. Remove the stems from the kale and tear the leafs into smaller pieces. Wash and spin dry. Place on baking sheets. Spray with some cooking spray (or drizzle with olive oil) and sprinkle with lots of salt and a bit of pepper. Use your hands to toss and coat evenly and arrange in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Until the kale chips are crispy and the edges are brown.

I’ve seen these online a few times too but have never tried them. I think it might be time for me to do it though, since I have run out of ways to make winter veg. interesting. Plus– this seems super easy to do.
I love kale chips! I don’t remember where I 1st saw them, but I’ve been hooked ever since.
I’ll definitely have to try this tomorrow. I have a 1/2 bag in my fridge because I bought kale instead of collards and they didn’t turn out how I wanted them to so I didn’t know what to do with the rest of them. Thanks!
What a great idea! I actually just tried kale for the first time recently – but not like this!
I’ve heard about this and been wanting to try them! Sounds good!
I have tried it a couple times but each time the kale chips were so brittle they almost dissolved before reaching my mouth – and I defintely couldn’t dip them in anything either.
Maybe I overcooked them??
Jen, April, Deborah and Kalyn – I would love to hear what you think of them!
BIz – Chips is a bit of a debatable title, they are definitely fragile and couldn’t hold a dip. That said, if you overcook them they will get very brittle.
oh goodness i love kale chips
gorgeous pictures!
3 words – want to try.
I actually haven’t seen these, how cool!
I love veg cooked like this – have you tried roasted sprouts? Suprisingly good
Alright, I finally tried them. I loved them, but they were still a little bitter for my husband. I found other recipes that tosses them with cider or balsamic vinegar… have you tried this?
Juliette – I LOVEEE roasted soprouts.. hmm I should post about this.
April – no I haven’t, but that sounds good!
Finally tried these after having meaning to for a long time. What a hit! Perfect way to eat kale. Even those who don’t normally like kale, loved these.
Thanks again for another great recipe!
Yeay! I have converted another person! If only I got a dime everytime…
