Every now and then you discover a way of preparing something that is so simple, you have to marvel. I give you kale crisps. I love kale raw, especially on sandwiches. This is a fabulous alternative.
** Oh, no. I just had the first food disaster due to blogging. While writing this, I forgot that I had set a pot of collard greens on the stove. The water boiled off. I now have a house filled with smoke, ruined 2# of greens, and destroyed a ham bone I'd been saving for weeks.**
Ah well, back to the kale...
The Method
I'm offering three variations on these crisps.
- 1 large bunch of kale leaves, washed, drained, and dried
- olive oil
- sea salt
- curry powder (optional)
- shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Toss the kale with olive oil. (Do not do this if you are topping it with shredded cheese.)
- (Optional) Sprinkle with curry powder and toss to very lightly coat.
- Place on baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle very lightly with salt.
- (Optional #2) Sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown.
The Results
Amazing! I need say nothing more.

Kale chips look good. Sorry about the ham bone, that is poopy, especially when you have been saving it.
