Kale chips

My friend GB recently mentioned that he had a bumper kale crop from his garden and that he was making kale chips....which reminded me that I had not made this healthy snack for a little while.
Today in the supermarket, I purchased a small package of kale which held two large leaves of curly kale.
 Came home and washed the leaves carefully, stripped them from the stem and then tore them into bite sized pieces.
 Dried them off properly and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.


Drizzled them with sunflower oil and sprinkled liberally with an Italian herb seasoning blend and then placed in the oven at 150 degrees for 22 minutes.
I turned the oven off after twenty minutes and let the residual heat do its work for the last two minutes.

Hard to resist kale chips
VERY hard to resist kale chips


Removed the crispy tasty kale chips....it was very hard to eat just a few since they are very "more-ish" as we say here.
I munched every single one till they were all gone....absolutely delicious.
 They didn't even last 22 minutes.

    A pity I left GB's a week or two too early!

      Yes you did leave too early (I was enjoying your posts so much), but I'm sure that Jo or son who likes to cook will indulge you.

    I'll have to show my son your post. He's growing kale at the moment. He would love it.

      Yes, it's a very tasty healthy snack and can be quite addictive.

      Hey, glad to see you, was wondering how you were doing....hope all is well in your world.
      Kale chips are just simply delicious and it's time you made some more.
      I know you're planning a post on the Lowes incident with the delivery guy....I just know you are...

    I made them once and wasnt impressed - think I will have to try them again. I think I might have baked them too long as they were very crispy and dry.

      Yes, if the oven is too hot they will be burned to a crisp.
      Low and slow is my mantra for making these chips. 150 degrees for 15-20 mins according to your oven.
      I hope you try them again...they're worth it.

    Well the website you directed me to after my unsuccessful attempts worked for me very well Virginia. I shall try different seasonings too. I think the majority of my kale may end up being used this way.
