Step 1 of 8

Kale chips from the store are like $8 for a tiny bag! Ummm... No, please!

Step 2 of 8

Fresh kale from the store is barely over $1! Grab a bundle of green happiness and rinse it in some cold water.

Step 3 of 8

Pre- heat the oven to 350. Remind yourself that you're pretty much the greatest person in the world, but too humble to admit it.

Step 4 of 8

Pull or cut the leaves from the stems. Break the leaves up into some smaller pieces.

Step 5 of 8

Put some foil on a baking sheet and spray some olive oil cooking spray on it.

Step 6 of 8

Arrange your kale on the baking sheet. Give that sucker some salt, pepper & any other seasoning you want ( I used cayenne pepper for this batch!). Lightly spray it with olive oil again.

Step 7 of 8

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Add a few minutes if you're like me and enjoy some charred pieces!

Step 8 of 8

Finally, put a few more happy offerings of salt. Eat that crispy goodness right away, or let it cool down and crisp up a bit. OH SNAP this healthy stuff will make you happy

I used my dehydrator to make them at a low temp but can't remember what the temp was. All I know is they are delicious whatever temp used and much healthier than chips (and taste better! :-)

I've never tried at a lower temp- but I'm no chef haha - if anyone finds a better way to make it please let me know ;)

Well, regardless of a few list nutrients, it does look tasty! Has anyone tried baking at a lower temperature? How low would the temp need to be?

Sarah Bowen 7 months ago

So you can get a dehydrator and make them in that at a lower temperature or in your own oven at a lower temp I would guess.

Baking the kale at such a high temperature destroys enzymes and nutrients. The kale sol at health stores are dehydrated at low temperatures. FYI. :)

Lucky you, kale hasn't achieved enough popularity where I live so I have to pay $5 for a bunch! At that price I'm too scared to try this in case I ruin it...
