Kale + 10 minutes..What's not to love?
Hey Guys! And Happy Monday to you all and I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
It was pretty interesting around here as we just saw our first snow fall of the year and it's March.
That's really not unusual around here...living in the great state of North Carolina it's what we're used to. Well except for the eighty degree weather we were experiencing in February.
And with that being slightly different I had to wonder what March was going bring us.
Sowith the light dusting we got it was pretty enough to remind me it's still officially Winter..which is Okay since I really do appreciate the changing of seasons.
And as I start thinking about Spring approaching, it also reminds me of more salads, smoothies and popsicle weather.
Do you guys start getting excited about that?
And since I love creating all these wonderful things I hope you'll hang out with me to Enjoy them all!
But anyway, let's get back to the recipe we have to share today... Easy, tasty, and totally addicting.

These are fabulous as a chip & I also made pizza roll ups by making a crust,topping it up pizza sauce,mozzarella & rolling it up & slicing it.It was a hit with my kale snobs even.

After making some kale chips which is a huge waste of time for no more than you get, I thought of this idea in my head. And then I see that you already had the recipe tested! Exactly how I was going to do it. No wasting of the kale stems! I used previously grated cheese. I have made cheese chips often, and that’s a timesaver. Next time I’m going to make these using sliced cheese, maybe cut them into quarters. Good quality sliced cheese though. I used a cupcake pan! Keeps them uniform!

Can you make them in a dehydrator?
Reply
Stephanie
Hi Dee, I haven't personally tested the recipe in a dehydrator, so I can't say for sure. But I think it would work fine. Let me know if you try it!

I made these yesterday and they are delicious!! However, they are not very crispy...still tasty, but not crispy - any ideas on how to crisp them up?
Reply
Stephanie
You can try cooking them a little longer at a lower temperature and see if that crisps them up some. When you originally made them did you make sure they were thin flat circles? Also the the type of cheese you used could make a difference. Did you use already shredded cheese or grate it yourself? Let me know how if this helps.

What's the proper storage for any extra?
Reply
Stephanie
I usually keep any extras in a large zip lock bag in the fridge. But any covered container would work. Keeping them in the fridge just extends the life even though they don't last that long at my house 🙂

I am absolutely making these. I love parm crisps, so adding kale to make them healthier (and added fiber among a million other things!) makes them all the more appealing to me. Pinning for later!

If there is anything which will get me to eat kale, it will be cheese 😉 I'm not a huge fan but I can see how good it would be with the parmesan, garlic and spice 😀

How did I not know you lived in NC?! We got our second snow of winter over the weekend... so I'm thinking you must live south of me? Anyways, the weather sure is crazy! Another thing is crazy, the fact that I love kale and have yet to make kale crisps... or chips for that matter. These look AMAZING, Stef!! And they are only 4 ingredients? Consider it done. I'm doin' this. Pronto! Cheers, girlie! <3

Yup, the weather in NC can be Crazy for sure! Well I think actually everywhere this Winter! But seriously I hope you try these since they're so easy and taste Amazing 🙂

These seem like such a perfect, quick and healthy snack! I wonder if you could make a big batch and freeze some for later?

Yes they are Emily! I haven’t tried freezing them yet but I imagine you probably could. I usually just keep a zip lock bag of them in the fridge. But they haven’t lasted very long so I haven’t had to worry about that ?
