I love chips.What I don't love is feeling guilty after I've consumed an entire bag to myself. So when I heard that kale chips actually taste good I knew I had to try them immediately. They are very easy to make and taste like a mix between popcorn and baked chips. They don't have that bitter kale taste and are highly addictive. I used a recipe from Gwyenth Paltrow's cookbook but added some "Slap Your Mama" Cajun spice!

I LOVE kale chips, but I haven't made them in a while. Thanks for the inspiration - I think I'll make them again this weekend. You're right: they're so easy to make, and guilt-free to enjoy!

Thank you for this recipe, I adore salad recipes a lot! Have a great weekend, ~ xoxo
Last week I was experimenting with kale and made kale chips and while I thought they were okay (I get why people like 'em) I'm not completely sold on them! Which is too bad because I love the idea of them so much! Healthy chips? Yes, please! I also threw kale in a smoothie, and made kale & sweet potato soup... the soup was definitely the best combo of the 3! Love your food posts though!! Always so inspiring!
I've been dying to try these as well! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

YUM! What a great idea! I love new ways to enjoy my leafy greens!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I've been seeing that a lot in supermarktets, but I think making it yourself looks a lot more appealing (or maybe it's your photography :) Thanks for the recipe!
I discovered kale chips recently too. They're so addictive! I've been making my chips with sesame oil, Braggs, apple cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Tangy and delicious! This recipe seems so simple, I'll have to try it out soon.
Thank you for sharing this! My mother loves Kale, she especially loves Russian Kale because it is a bit sweeter than others. I will have to give her this recipe. Thank you!
sounds delicious! perhaps I will make these to celebrate today!
Love that you posted this recipe! I just started buying them from Erewhon's in LA, and now I can make them myself!

I Just got back from Target where was looking thru Gwyneth's new cookbook trying to decide whether it fit in this weeks budget or not. (It did not, but will soon)
Will be trying Kale chips soon. ;)
One of my favorite things to make!!!! :)
I cannot wait to try out this recipe. I've never been one for kale, but I have heard as well that's it's super delicious and super healthy.
Taylor, these look so yummmy! and sound so perfect for me as i always feel guilty when i eat proper chips. kale is pretty rare to find in australia..is there a substitute you could use? x

Who doesn't love chips? I'm really interested in Kale chips. I'm gonna have to head into the kitchen!
Great post!
They look really good, are they actually really crunchy like a chip? could you dip it in something like salsa?
Have you ever tried sweet potato chips? They are super yum too!
I will definitely have to try these!
