The first place I read about kale chips was on the Kath Eats Real Food blog. I thought it was a little odd, but I soon saw that others in blog world were trying them out as well.
I bought some kale last week and thought, what the heck, I’ll try these. I prepped the kale by washing & drying & removing the stems. I tore into more manageable size pieces and then spread out on a cookie sheet that I had sprayed with Pam. I then sprayed the kale with Pam and seasoned with parmesan cheese, a little freshly ground pepper & sea salt. I baked at 350 for approximately 10 minutes and then let cool slightly.
I cleared my mind and made sure that as I was going to take my first bite that I wasn’t expecting the kale chips to taste like anything I had previously tasted. I knew if I had a preconceived idea of what they would taste like, I would most likely not care for them. I took my first bite. I was pleasantly surprised. Tasty! These went perfectly with my ham, Swiss & sriracha sandwich and salad. I went on to make several more batches for lunch throughout the week. Super simple to make and healthy, too!
Thanks, Kath, for yet another great, healthy idea!

Can you imagine I've yet to try the humble kale! This may be the perfect introduction
Tanya,

I can’t wait to get more kale now!

Just had to try these, minus the cheese. Kale chips are surprisingly good. I was shocked. Will make them again. Thank you for sharing this on Friday Foodie Fix.
Diane, I know! I was surprised, too! Glad you enjoyed. You could use nutritional yeast as a seasoning if you can't do dairy.

[...] opportunity to sample & review some fantastic products from Brad’s Raw Chips. I first tried kale chips almost three years ago. I saw them on another blog and decided to dive in and make them myself. [...]
