I made these last night from our Greenling box that was delivered on 3/26. The kale was still fresh and crisp because I kept it in a green bag. I'm a total convert.
Ingredients:
- A head of kale (I used the dinosaur kale that came in our Greenling box)
- 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- Plenty of salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Chop the kale into 1" pieces. Discard the pieces with large stems.
- Toss the kale with the balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper and arrange them on a cookie sheet so that the pieces are not touching.
- Bake for ~10 minutes or until the pieces are crispy.
Verdict:
The salt, sweetness of the vinegar, and bitterness of the greens creates a really interesting flavor. And given that kale is a nutritional powerhouse, it's much better for us than those Baked Lays Cory keeps calling an "appetizer" before dinner.

I still need to try this!
I made these too recently (was a garnish for something else I was making) and was surprised how much I liked them.
And yeah - a heck of a lot healthier than the Baked Lays!
This sounds fantastic. The Daily Juice has some curried kale chips I found at the Farmer's Market a couple weeks ago that remind me of this.
Great idea! Thanks!
