Why These Kale Chips Are So Good!

- They are perfectly crispy and so tasty.
- They are a great healthy alternative to potato chips.
How to Make Crispy Kale Chips
- Pre heat the oven 300F.
- After you have washed the kale, completely dry it. This is critical to crispy kale chips. Use a salad spinner ideally.
- Massage the oil into the kale and spread on two baking sheets. DO NOT OVERCROWD if you overcrowd, they will steam and will not get crispy.
- Bake in the pre heated oven for 10 minutes. Then, switch the position of the sheets and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until crunchy but not brown. Remove from the oven.
- Melt the butter, add the honey, lemon and salt and stir together. Pour over the chips and serve.
Recipe Variations
- to make whole30 simply omit the drizzle
- to make vegan replace the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil and use maple syrup instead of honey
- to make low carb or keto, omit the drizzle, or make it either without sweetener or with a keto-friendly sweetener
These baked kale chips are so tasty!
These crispy kale chips are seriously so delicious and really crispy. A few simple techniques make them this way:
- All water MUST be removed from the kale. Spin the kale in a salad spinner. If you do not remove all the water, the kale will steam in the oven and the kale will be wilty.
- Do not overcook them. They will get brown and change taste. You want them to look matte and hold their shape (not be droopy) but they should not *feel* super crispy/crunchy right out of the oven.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheets. You’ll need two baking pans. This is another critical technique for crispy kale chips
A simple honey-lemon drizzle
The honey-lemon drizzle takes it totally elevates these crispy kale chips. It is buttery, bright, sweet and ohhhhhh so good! It only takes a matter of minutes to make the drizzle and it is worth every minute!
