I should have never waited this long to try kale. These ended up tasting like BBQ Chips without all the crap, it was so so so yummy. This is now becoming a weekly staple that I can bring to work as a snack, since the whole recipe cost me a whooping $1.50. Enjoy.
BBQ Baked Kale Chips
Ingredients
- 3 large handfuls of kale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees F
- Remove all of your kale leaves from the stalk and wash well
- Once they are all washed, dry them over and over again. They need to be bone dry to get the best results, if you have a salad spinner now is the time to use it if not you are going to be using lots and lots of paper towels
- Place all of your dry kale in a mixing bowl and coat with all of your extra virgin olive oil
- Once coated, use 1/2 tsp of sea salt and sprinkle all over
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place all of your kale on the sheet
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 Minutes, or until the chips are crispy, if you let them cook too long they will not taste good, don't burn them so check them often after the 10 minute mark
- Combine the paprika, garlic, and remaining sea salt in a small bowl and at the 10 minute mark, remove your Kale from the oven and sprinkle with this mixture
- Place back in the oven and continue cooking until done
- Enjoy

Kale chips are awesome but I can’t seem to get them to stay fresh after they’re made. They don’t retain their crispness. Perhaps its time to bite the bullet and get a dehydrator?

Ah Jon I never have them last long enough to maintain so maybe
