Kale Chips -- amazing!

Kiley2801 · 10-19-2010, 08:43 AM

I'm probably way late to the party with Kale, but I just bought my first batch last weekend, and decided to try this recipe. o.m.g. I had only planned to eat 1/3 of the batch, but ended up eating the whole thing!

Love, love, love these chips!!!

Lemon Kale Chips

1 bunch kale (prepared and washed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Chop kale into ½ inch pieces
3. Place kale in a large bowl
4. With hands massage oil, lemon juice and salt into kale
5. Place kale on parchment lined baking sheet (I just used foil- worked great)
6. Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes until kale is dark green and crispy
7. Cool and serve

Now that kale and I are BFF, I am off to search for other recipes.

can't wait to try these, thanks for posting the recipe.

WendyK1974 · 10-19-2010, 08:53 AM

I tried them. I wasn't that thrilled with them. They are best straight out of the oven. If they sit around at all they taste awful. I really wanted to like them, but I don't think I'll make them again.

Charski · 10-19-2010, 10:56 AM

We do them in the dehydrator - I just toss them with a little EVOO and dust with a little sea salt (not too much, dehydrating really shrinks the leaves and concentrates the saltiness!) and we LOVE them!

Collard leaves work well for this too.

Best oven baked kale chip recipe & technique I have found. It's about 16:15 into the video.

mmmm... I really need to invest in a dehydrator!

They're not that expensive - I got a Nesco Snackmaster FD-35 on Amazon for $34.95 - money WELL spent. Been using it several years now without mishap. I like it because the heat comes from the top, not the bottom, which means nothing drips down into the motor.

newyorkmeg · 10-19-2010, 02:44 PM

Sound great-always looking for a "chip" to dip when at a party-will try this

Charski · 10-19-2010, 02:44 PM

They're really pretty fragile, I don't think they'll hold up to dipping, but they're so good on their own that I don't miss the dip.

ravenrose · 10-19-2010, 06:57 PM

they are a bit carbier than one would expect from greens though...

for example, 100 grams (about a 3 1/2 ounce serving) of

chard has a net of 2.14 grams of carbs,

spinach has 1.43,

for kale it's 8 grams net.

If a bunch is 10 ounces, that would be about 22 grams of net carbs.

This is weighed before cooking, of course! LOL

I saw some in the chips isle at Market Street.

gardenofsimple · 10-20-2010, 04:34 PM

I loooove kale chips!

I make them just bu breaking some off the stem (maybe a loose cups worth)

drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and smidgen of garlic powder

bake at 350 just until they start to brown. Maybe 10 minutes?

Sooooo good. buttery, salty, nom.

Linny · 10-21-2010, 05:28 AM

I saw Giadi De Laurentiis make this a few days ago ~ just omit the potatoes

Potato and Kale Chips with Lemon Mayonnaise
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Chips:

* 3 large kale leaves
* Olive oil, for drizzling
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1 (8-ounce) medium white potatoes, unpeeled
* 1 (8-ounce) medium sweet potatoes, unpeeled

Mayonnaise:

* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 a large lemon)
* 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1/2 a large lemon)
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chips: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the thick stem from the kale and discard. Cut the leaves into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Put them in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well. Arrange the kale in a single layer on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy and slightly dark on the edges. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the white potatoes and the sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices. Put them in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well. Arrange in a single layer (without overlapping) on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 12 minutes. Turn the slices over and continue to bake, checking every 2 minutes until brown and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes longer. Season the chips with salt and pepper, to taste.

Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Transfer all the chips to a large bowl and serve with the mayonnaise.

Cook's Note 1: Some potato chips will cook faster than others. Remove the chips from the baking sheets as soon as they become brown and crispy.

Cook's Note 2: The recipe can be doubled or tripled.

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 11-05-2010, 04:13 PM

Linny · 10-21-2011, 05:57 AM
