Question Kale chips?

I know this should be in the recipe section but I've already been there with this one...I've tried making these three times and all I get is soggy kale, burnt edges. It doesn't crisp up, and certainly doesn't look good to eat. Can someone clarify how to make them? I think I am doing it right but something is wrong.

OH...I also found a cool drink, probably someone else has already tried this but taking the new rtd mango and whirring it in a blender with ice makes this creamy, frothy yummy shake. It's even better with a splenda added...

Are you using the paper or just putting them on a cookie sheet? What temp are you using on the oven?

I use the hungry girl recipe. Make sure the kale is dry and the big vein is cut out. Also make sure they are cut into bite size peices. Good luck!

2 cups fresh kale leaves
Olive oil nonstick spray
Dash salt, or more to taste





Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place kale leaves on a baking sheet sprayed with olive oil nonstick spray. Spritz leaves with the nonstick spray and sprinkle with salt.

Bake in the oven until crispy, 5 - 8 minutes, for a potato-chip-like snack.

If you like, season to taste with additional salt. Eat up!

MAKES 1 SERVING

I will try it this way; I had washed and dried the leaves, and then shook them in a plastic bag with olive oil and spices. I put the leaves, pretty big, on a cookie sheet and baked at 400.

Well...I'll try again. You like them enough to go through the effort?

I find it works better with parchment paper on the baking sheet.

I agree, I also keep my oven at 350 and constantly check them. Sometimes, I'll reach in to see if they are crispy and will grab one off the pan right out of the oven lol. Keep trying, they are one of my favs!

They are so worth it! I burnt my first batch too, so keep trying. Use the parchment paper for sure and like Ishbel said "keep checking them".
