Kale chips are my absolute favourite healthy chips. It is so simple to make, there is no need to buy packaged kale chips. I even got my husband (a Dorito’s lover) to switch over to kale chips. I have put a very basic recipe here I use that to make simple salty kale chips, but you can add your favourite seasoning to give your chips flavour! My favourite is the Garlic Lover’s Seasoning from Flavour God!
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe feeds your cravings for salty chips without having to worry about eating a bag of potatoes! Kale is a tougher leaf which makes it perfect for making chips.
TIPS ON HOW TO PREPARE KALE FOR THIS RECIPE
- Rip your kale from the stems! Kale is a thicker green leaf which means that it has more cellulose – making it’s cell walls sturdier and stronger than your regular lettuce. Don’t cut your kale with a knife! Rip it! It will rip along the cell walls, preserving more nutrients than if you had cut it with a knife!

Kale Chips
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 medium bunch of kale
- 2 tsp of EVOO
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat over to 300 degrees F
- Ensure that you have washed your kale thoroughly. I like to use a salad spinner to get all the water out of the kale
- After all the water and moisture is out of your leaves, start to rip it from the stem into bite size pieces
- Put all your kale into a bowl and add the 2 tsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Start to massage the oil into your kale, until all of your kale is coated in olive oil and massaged thoroughly
- Sprinkle the salt and garlic salt over the kale and toss to mix and coat over all the pieces
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins, when you start to see the edges brown a bit
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 mins, so that they can continue to crisp up
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Enjoy!
