How to Make Kale Chips
It seems like almost everyone has heard of Kale Chips. I keep hearing how others are making them but I had never tried making my own until today. They were so so easy to make and I found I couldn’t just stop with eating one, two, three or… you get the picture. They were slightly addicting. 🙂 And another bonus even my younger kids liked them!
If you’ve never made them before I’ll share how I did it.
This is the pan of kale before it was placed in the oven.
The only time I use kale is when I’m making Toscana Soup. So I had an extra bunch in my refrigerator that was just starting to yellow and I decided I’d better do something about it before it went completely bad.
Here’s how I made my chips.

Ingredients
- Kale
- Olive Oil
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Wash Kale.
- Remove Kale leaves from stem (I used a knife but as you can see form this video there are other methods.)
- Tear Kale leaves if they are too big.
- Place in bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.
- Toss leaves to be sure all are coated with the oil.
- Lay on cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. (I added too much salt to mine; do this step with a light hand.)
- Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes.
That’s it. Very easy and it takes almost no time at all! Note: The kale does shrink while baking.
These are the kale chips after they finished baking.
Do you eat kale or have you ever made kale chips?

Glad you gave them a try. So easy to make and healthy, too.

I made some. Made them a little too salty though. I found the texture to be kind of fun the way it just kinda crumbles up right way.

Maybe because when the moisture is drawn out of the kale the salt that seemed like a normal amount when we put it on becomes too much; I’m not sure.
