Kale Chips
I never imagined my kids would like kale – in any form, but they’ve grown to like it in their salads or on a burger but their favorite way to eat kale – homemade kale chips! We will throwing these in the oven for a light snack or as a side for our picnic dinners. They’re just enough crunch and salt along with tons of vitamins A, C and K!
We have been growing kale in our garden for a few years now. Did you know kale is a biennial plant? The first year it produces the tender leaves that are perfect for this recipe. Then during the next growing season it will bolt and produce seeds – which we save and replant for the next spring! It’s a great veggie to have in your garden and you can even stagger your plants so you have spring and fall kale!

Kale Chips
A yummy, quick snack that even our kiddos love to enjoy!
Ingredients
- Green curly kale
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- Cracked pepper
Instructions
- Cut the stems and spines from the kale leaving just the leaves
- Cut the leaves into 2-3 inch size pieces
- Spread onto a baking sheet and drizzle with EVOO
- Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
- Bake on 350 degrees for 10 minutes until crispy
Notes
Be careful to watch the chips as they bake, thinner leaves can start to burn very quickly
We rub the olive oil on both sides of the kale leaves for extra crispiness
These go great as a side with burgers or sandwiches or alone as an afternoon snack
