15 Ways to Make Kale Chips
I’m struggling with late night cravings. I can do great all day eating healthy and not gorging myself on sweets and carbs. Then 8 o’clock rolls around and the hunger hits.
Right now this is the hardest time of the day for me to stay on track. It’s a battle of willpower to not reach into the cupboard and open a bag of chips or grab a chocolate bar.
I’ve been doing ok for the last little while and eat fruit or have a glass of lemon water. I still miss the snacking foods though! Then I remembered Kale Chips and how much I liked them when I made a batch a few years back.
I made mine with a little bit of lemon juice and some Parmesan cheese and was surprised how much I enjoyed them. You almost forget you are eating a vegetable! Even kids love Kale Chips, too!
Kale chips are healthy and delicious. I’ve started picking up kale each week on my shopping trips to make some healthy snack foods for those late night cravings. I can indulge without the guilt!
I bookmarked a variety of kale chip recipes to keep things interesting. They all sound tasty and I’m looking forward to trying them out. The hard decision will be which one to try first. Maybe I’ll start at the top and work my way down.

I have had kale but not kale chips, I can’t wait to try a few of these. Thank you for sharing this recipe post.
tried maknt kale chips once bt it was not very successful!
You really have to be sure they are spread out on the baking sheet. Â A single bunch of kale will often take 4 trays for me. Â If they are too close, they don’t get crispy. Â Be sure to dry the leaves well and message the oil in with your hands. Â I have an olive oil sprayer and I only use two squirts per baking sheet, but you have to massage it so be sure all surfaces are covered.
I have never heard of them before so I am a little surprised. I will have to pick up some kale and try these.They look superb.
The Spicy Parmesan ones look good- I will have to try them next time I am home!
I didn’t even realize there were so many ways to make them. Thanks. I can’t wait to try the Spicy Nacho and the jalapeno cheddar.
I’m so new to kale. I just realized I like it. Thanks for the recipes.
