Everything Kale ChipsPin

Our edible garden is organic and truly lovely, but I feel like if our family had to subsist solely on what it produces, we would be pretty hungry. I do my best to tend to it year round, but I neglected it a bit this summer and some of the fruits and vegetables I was really looking forward to didn’t produce as much as usual. However, there’s one thing that grew and grew and kept growing_ kale. Hearty and beautiful with it’s textured leaves and delicious flavor, I had to come up with multiple uses for it including Green Ice Pops, Green Pizza, and these Everything Kale Chips sprinkled with tons of tasty herbs and seeds on top.

Even for kids (and adults) who profess to hate greens, I dare them not to gobble up this tasty snack stuffed in my favorite reusable snack bags. And if you have a garden, it will hopefully give you one more reason to head outside, plant some seeds, and look forward to enjoying the fruits of your labor.

  1. I could have cried with happiness watching my 18 month old son devour these (and then sign for more!) I was getting weary in my “offer twenty times for each food” effort to get my boy to eat veggies, thank you for creating a recipe that my little guy ate the first time!

  2. I find they work best using extra virgin olive oil and baking at 275 (tossing now and again).

  3. I made these and they smelled up my kitchen/house so much. Does yours smell too? Also they have a very bitter taste. My kids would not eat them. Do you think this may have been older kale (it was still fresh and not wilted at all) or is that just the nature of the item?

  4. Well the second batch turned out. I turned the oven down to 300 and kept the 15 mins and they were perfect. My 22 mo old who doesn’t eat anything green loved them! Between her and my picky hubby the whole big bunch of kale was eaten within minutes.

  5. These were great but I found one teaspoon of salt way too salty. Will make again with maybe 1/3rd.

  6. These were delicious but is there any way to store them if the whole batch isn’t eaten immediately? I tried keeping the leftovers in a glass jar and they went a bit limp — not nearly as yummy as when first out of the oven. Such a fantastic flavor when freshly made though.

  7. Can you use frozen kale ? With it being almost out of season I would love to continue making this but I am not sure how that impacts the recipe (if any?)

  8. After having success with kale chips a month ago, I made a very similar thing last night with Brussels Sprout leaves. My toddler loved his “green crackers” 😉

  9. Catherine,
    Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! You are awesome! I love your healthy and inspired ideas… keep up the good work, sister 🙂
