Kale chips are crisp like potato chips and can be flavored with a variety of rubs. Some suggestions are barbecue rubs, salt, dill or perhaps apple cider vinegar. You may even find a rub that the children will approve. Kale chips are a great idea for school lunches. Apple chips and banana chips are also a great alternative to store bought potato chips. If you do not have a dehydrator, the kale chips can be baked at a low temp in an oven for approximately 10 hours.
Ingredients:
- Kale
- Olive Oil
- Choice of rub
Directions:
- Remove the kale leaves from the stalk and dispose of the stalks.
- Wash kale leaves and shake well to remove excess water.
- Place kale leaves on one end of a towel. Fold the other end back over the kale leaves to soak up additional water.
- Place kale leaves in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle with olive oil.
- Rub salt, barbecue rub, dill or apple cider vinegar onto kale leaves as desired.
- Place in food dehydrator for 8 hours at 115 degrees.
- If no food dehydrator is available, place leaves on a baking sheet in oven at low setting for approximately 10 hours.
- Allow to cool and serve alone, with dip or place in food storage bags for later consumption.

Yummy post Carolyn. I love Kale Chips; however, they still cause me to bloat and break out. Word of wisdom, snacks are still that, a snack.. and still in the junk food area. Always eat in moderation. (I needed that reminder. ;) voted and tweeted!

I have been hearing all about kale chips lately - they seem to be the "in" snack for vegans at present, don't they? I would love to try them, so thanks for sharing this recipe. Out of votes for now, but will come back and vote tomorrow.
