Kale Chips

Ok, so last night I went to my support group meeting & we had a dietitian & sort of a cooking demonstration. They made Kale chips. They were actually pretty good & I can see them satisfying the crunchy texture needs that some of us need. They kinda taste collardish to me. Seemed pretty simple to make, although I suggest using the olive oil spray vs the oil itself, less messy. Thought I might share in case some of you would like to try this out.

I used to make kale chips before my surgery and I didn't like them plain (with only salt).  So I started roasting garlic and mixing that into a little salt and extra virgin olive oil and brushing it on each leaf then baking.  They were delicious!

I might have to experiment with more ideas -- maybe come up with a sour cream and onion flavor or BBQ flavor.  *thinking*  You've given me a task!  Thanks for sharing.

I tried them once with a bit of cayenne and garlic and liked.

we make these all the time at my house. i've made them with parmesean cheese, nutritional yeast, ranch, vinegar, all sorts of spices.
