Yummy thanks for the tip I wouldn't have thought to make them myself. I have seen them in the store but put off by the amount of salt they added. I can't wait to get home to try it.

I love kale chips. I probably dropped several pounds when I discovered that I can replace potato chips with kale chips in my diet.
