Okay, we didn’t think kale chips could be ANY better…they CAN! If you make homemade almond milk…save the meal and dehydrate it! Then, before you bake your kale chips, sprinkle a bunch on them- then bake! They come out with more texture and they’re AWESOME!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE. Okay, had to share

Hooray for kale chips!

One other great thing about kale chips: they squelch a sugar craving right in its tracks.

@michaela – I love Tuscan kale too. But I haven’t had much luck using it for chips – have you tried? The texture was different!

@Daria – We’re all members of the we love kale club, aren’t we?

@fresh365 – lemme know if you like them!

@Rachel – cumin sounds yummy! Maybe with ghee instead of oil?

@Amy – I’m workin’ on it

@SCB – it’s a good point, I’m sure ghee would be terrific! You’re right that olive oil should be kept at low temperatures, but I don’t know if 350 is too high. Have yet to see specifics on that. Sesame oil generally is better at med/high heats.

@Ricki – I know I’ve seen how pricey they get in bags online, but have never even found them in the stores around here.

@Vered – Hope you like them!

@Diane – Maybe you can chime in on SCB’s question about heating olive oil. Is 350 too high? Worried about free radical creation at high temperatures, but I’m not sure what’s too high.

@Mary – A staple, yes! haha you’re too nice to me.

@theUngourmet – Accidental kale chips! Love it.

@Alex – Let me know how you bf likes ‘em

@Chris – I’m very kale-oriented myself, sounds like my kind of place though I’ve never been to Ptown!

Great stuff — I actually had something like these at a restaurant in Provincetown, MA called Napi’s, and they were delicious. It’s a very kale-oriented place — they’ve got kale soup and I think bread as well.

I cannot believe I haven’t tried making kale chips yet!! They are all over the blog world!

This is where you got me though: “..my husband downs a whole head of kale when I make these.”

I wanna make my bf do that too.

Thanks!

I accidentally made my kale crispy once and surprise! I loved it! I will definitely have to try your yummy recipe. I can imagine the plum vinegar is amazing with the kale!

I always tell my clients to make kale chips, but I have not made the time to make them in the last year or so. I love having such an inspiring diva remind me of simple staples.
