Kale Chips? Eat a Bunch!

A "bunch-of-kale" chips

Literally; one bunch of kale. I promise, if you like kale chips you can eat a whole bunch!  If you buy kale chips, you know it costs $4-5+ for a handful size pouch. And what does a bunch of fresh kale cost? $2-3 and you’ll have a big bowlful of chips.  It’s ridiculously easy to make kale chips. Just toss torn leaves with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, herbs or finely grated Parmesan cheese – or experiment with your own favorite seasoning. If you have a convection setting on your oven this is your chance to make the most of it; the chips turn out crispier and take only 15 minutes. Here’s the recipe:

One bunch of kale. Mine is from my Riverdog Farm CSA box.
Curly Kale
Tear leaves off stems; I run my fingers from tip to stem end and the leaves fall off into just about the right size pieces, about 3-4 inches. Wash and dry very well, preferably in a salad spinner. Divide one bunch of kale between 2-3 trays so the leaves are not too crowded.  (Line the pan with parchment for easier cleanup if you like).

Toss leaves on each tray with 2-3 teaspoons olive oil and about 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
Torn kale

Bake 15 minutes on convection setting at 275°F, turning leaves after 10 minutes.
On convection, 2-3 pans can be baked at once.
Bake 25-30 minutes on conventional setting at 300°F, turning leaves every 10 minutes. On conventional, it is better to bake one pan at a time for better circulation.

Kale chips are best fresh from the oven, but should stay crispy in a covered container for about 2 days.
I bet they won’t last long enough to get to a container!

Kitchen Notes:
“micro-chips”
 make the chips in the microwave: Prep the same as above; arrange single layer on a plate and microwave 3 minutes. Check for crispness and add additional 30 seconds as needed.
Lacinato kale
also called Tuscan or Dinosaur kale (right) makes good kale chips too.

    I’m going to try the lacinato kale. Seems it might be easier to do, and look more like “chips”. Though it probably needs to bake a bit longer, right?.

      I found the time was pretty similar for lacinato kale, but let me know how it works for you Rita!

    An even easier way to do kale chips is in the MICROWAVE! Cooks Illustrated had an article on this, just prepare as you would for a conventional oven. Spread in one layer on a plate, microwave on full power 3 minutes. If not all the way crispy, microwave more in 30 second increments. It is not only quicker, but I find that the chips are more evenly cooked.

    These are delicious!!!!! I usually just add a little salt, no extra seasoning necessary. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll make a batch of these this week.

The cake is probably the most perfectly written cake recipe I’ve ever read — thanks to dear Flo Braker who is greatly missed in our baking world, though her cookbooks live on. Her Buttermilk Cake and Classic White Cakes are in her book The Art of Perfect Baking which you can find on-line or in libraries. I think Flo wouldn’t mind me sharing her recipe. She was a most generous baking friend.
