Make sure you check the kale throughout the cooking process because some of it might cook more quickly than others and those pieces may need to come out of the oven sooner so they don't burn. The kale should be crisp but not too brown when it's done. Enjoy! Yes, I’ll be snacking on kale chips as I cook throughout the day on Thursday.

I've been wondering how I can make these at home because they are awfully expensive to buy and disappear very quickly around my house. Perfecting timing for a different and healthy Thanksgiving Day treat. Nancy Thank you for posting this recipe!!

I absolutely love these as a healthy snack and alternative to foods like chips, which are higher in calories and fat, and can also feel heavy on the body. These are light, delicious and nutritious indeed!!! I'm gonna get some Kale from the Farmer's market tomorrow and make a big batch. Thanks for the recipe ER!!!

I just read my inaugural blog and look forward to following you in your bucolic endeavors! I can't wait until my last little tax deduction leaves, hopefully, for college and I can began my life again! It involves a farmette and chicks too! The only thing that holds my exclamation balloon from zooming off into the wild blue yonder of my imagination, is my fear of, gulp, chicken s-n-a-k-e-s! I am fearful of snakes. I used to HATE SNAKES, but then I read Barbara Kingsolver's book "Prodigal Summer" and I cannot allow myself to HATE SNAKES as they do have their place. I just don't want it to be in my chicken house. I am so excited about building myself a "dirt bag house". I had heard about straw houses - and I'm not talking about that first little pig either - on some tv show a couple of years ago. I was pumped! I think you will find the website/rss instructables.com very helpful to you and your farmette. As a matter of fact, I found a wealth of information on straw houses there which led me to dirt bag houses, which are better for warmer climates like here in Alabama. The straw houses are better suited to colder climes and are sposed to be great for insulation properties amongst other things. Anyway, I also saw on instructables.com all kinds of stuff about raising chickens. You may just like it! Also, what about llamas or alpacas? They're sposed to be sweetie pies and you can do stuff with their haircuts! Ok. I've rambled and blithered and blathered...good luck and I LOVE MY SIDECAR!!! Howdy Ms. English!
