Delicious Spicy Roasted Kale Chips

Hi there!

We have been busy in the garden- 

One of our favorite veggies to grow is KALE

It grows like crazy here!



It's easy to grow and a real super food!



We will be eating Kale 

ALL SUMMER LONG!


Pick a large amount-

about the size of a bunch of

Lettuce

Break or chop up pieces to about a 2-4'' size

about 4-6 cups total.

Remove the center stem.


Set aside stems for later, to  freeze for soup!


Rinse pieces in cool water



Pat dry with towels or

I like to use a salad spinner.





Put dry pieces in a sealable bag.





Pour a little Olive oil in the bag- seal and gently

squeeze bag to coat the pieces.

Start with a tablespoon then add more if needed.


Coated but not soggy!



I line my baking sheets with cooking parchment paper for

easy cleanup.

I divide what fit in the bag

 on two baking sheets,



single layer.

Sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes

to suit your families taste.







Heat oven to 300 degrees F



Just about 12 to 15 min.




You will know the chips are ready when they turn a  darker green.

Watch carefully at this point so the chips don't burn.






The chips are light and crispy!


Pull up the sides of the parchment to make a paper funnel and

fill a bowl with the chips !



So delicious!

Even vegetable haters will love these.


We never have any left over, but.....you could crumble a few and

use as a seasoning....like Parsley- who would know?



Here's a vintage seed packet you can print

to make yourself a plant marker!



If you try to grow some kale or make some chips, 

tell me what you think.

  6. I don’t think I’d love the red pepper flakes, but I would love the kale chips! Brilliant to season them in a bag!

    1. Laurie, Thank you for visiting! My son got me started on spicy food and he likes it hot! When I make batch after batch in the summer I have to admit that same bag gets used over and over again. It's a time saver and easy clean up.
