Baked Kale Chips

Today I'm sharing an unpublished blog post from June 9, 2022. It is a blog draft long forgotten in the sorrow of that year. I'm sharing it with you today, four years later, with a heart full of gratitude and love for my dear husband, and our home in Alaska.

Still haven't discovered the joys of kale?  Well then, you probably haven't discovered baked kale chips!  Kale chips are a crispy, salty, veggie snack that are healthy, and delicious.

This bunch of kale came from my greenhouse, where I have an abundance of kale growing that I add to many recipes, including smoothies and kale pasta. But today, I'm using this bowl of kale to make baked kale chips.

To make, start by pulling off all the kale leaves from the thick stems. Then, in a large bowl, drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the kale; and mix together with your hands.


Lay the kale out onto a cookie sheet, or two, and sprinkle with salt.

Set the oven to 300 degrees, and put the kale in the oven immediately.  When the oven is preheated to 300 degrees, turn the oven off, and check on the baking kale chips to see if they're baked and crispy.  If not, leave them in the warm oven for another 5-10 minutes, until desired crispiness. This baking method slowly bakes the kale by not overheating the delicate leaves.

Enjoy!
