Ingredients
- 1 head kale, washed and shake to dry
- Spray olive oil
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Remove the ribs from the kale and cut or tear into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Lay on a baking sheet and spray with the olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp,turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. Serve as finger food.
Alturnatively keep the heat out of the kitchen and put the stifling heat in the car to good use.
I placed the baking dish on my dashboard of my car. I had planned to check on it after a couple of hours but forgot until it was time to pick the children up from camp at 3pm. The chips were crispy and delicious, I put the baking tray on the rear seat to bring in when we got home.
In the 10 mins it took to drive home, 2 children ate the entire tray! 
Bonus – their mouths were too busy crunching to indulge in their favorite game of winding each other up, I didn’t even mind that I could barely hear the radio over the crunching!

This is awesome, but in Seattle, we don’t get enough sun/heat to do it in the car. But hey, I will definitely have to try this out in the oven! Kale is growing in the garden as we speak!
Reblogged this on Momisms – Moments in Motherhood and commented:
I love the idea of adding vegetables in all parts of the diet. And, I figure if I keep throwing vegetables at the kids, something will eventually stick, lol. These look delish and I am definitely going to try. Kale Chips!
This is perfect! Kale is a new favorite and I’d love to give kale chips a whirl. Would make a great guilt-free snack. Thanks for sharing.

I tried this and loved it! I like Kale raw on sandwiches so I was extra excited to try this way too!
While at Weight Watchers yesterday a member with a huge garden picked and brought me a bunch of Kale to the meeting last night I tried Kale Chips for the first time! I added garlic/olive oil Sea Salt and Pepper and put them in a slightly hotter oven but boy they were WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Welcome to WWWW where we pride ourselves on eating greens. I had this kale at gastropub. I thought, hmm, complicated deep fat frying……..mystery solved! THX!
