Roasted Kale Chips Food

KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Cut away inner ribs from each kale leaf and discard; tear the leaves into pieces of uniform size. (I made my pieces about the size of a small potato chip.) Wash torn kale pieces and spin dry in a salad spinner or dry with paper towels until they're very dry.
• Put the kale pieces into a large resealable bag (or use a bowl if you don't mind getting your hands oily). Add about half the olive oil; seal and squeeze the bag so the oil gets distributed evenly on the kale pieces. Add the remaining oil and squeeze the bag more, until all kale pieces are evenly coated with oil and slightly 'massaged.' Sprinkle the vinegar over the kale leaves, reseal the bag, and shake to spread the vinegar evenly over the leaves. Spread the leaves evenly onto a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until mostly crisp, about 35 minutes. Season with salt and serve immediately.

CRISPY ROASTED KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 3 oven racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Lay each kale leaf on a board and, with a small sharp knife, cut out the hard stem. Tear large leaves in half. Place the kale in a large bowl of water and wash it well. Drain the kale and dry it in a salad spinner. Dry the bowl, and put the kale back in the bowl.
• Toss the kale with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Divide the kale among 3 sheet pans or roast them in batches. If you put too much kale on one pan, it will steam rather than roast and will never become crisp. Roast for 15 minutes, until crisp. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and serve hot.

CRISPY SOY ROASTED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the sesame oil and soy sauce together in a large bowl until the mixture looks creamy. Add the kale and toss to coat.
• Lay about half of the kale out on both baking sheets in a single layer, leaving a little room between leaves. You will need to bake them in batches. Bake in the middle of the oven 6 for 7 minutes, then rotate the sheets and bake until the kale is crispy, another 6 to 7 minutes. Gently transfer it to a platter to cool. Repeat for the remaining kale. Serve once cooled.

BAKED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
• Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.

KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two baking trays with cooking spray. Remove the center rib and stems from each kale leaf and discard. Tear or cut the leaves into bite-size pieces, about 2 to 3 inches wide. Wash the kale and dry it very well.
• 2. Place the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the garlic powder and salt, and massage the oil and seasonings into the kale with your hands to distribute evenly. Place the kale in a single layer on the baking sheets, and bake until crisp and the edges are slightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

ROASTED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) Note that the 50-minute cook time refers to three batches of kale, each batch taking about 16-17 minutes. Rinse kale leaves to remove dirt, dust, etc. and shake or spin dry. Kale doesn't hold water the way lettuce does, so shaking is usually sufficient. You can use chopped kale, but it needs to be "large" pieces, not finely chopped.
• 2. Lay the kale leaf face down on a cutting board and cut close to each side of the thick stem. (See photo.) Stems are usually discarded, but you can also cut them into 1-inch lengths and roast them, too, if you want. I like the roasted stems, but most people prefer the leaves. If you are using chopped kale, you can trim the leafy parts off the stem pieces.
• 3. Cut or tear the kale leaves into chip-sized pieces. I try for approx. 2-inch squares, but smaller is OK, too. Two large leaves are about the right amount for one large cookie sheet. One bunch of kale will be good for about three cookie sheets' worth.
• 4. Pile the cut kale from two leaves onto the cookie sheet, then drizzle olive oil onto the pile. Not too much oil, though. They should not be soaked. Shake salt and pepper onto the pile. Using clean hands, mix the pile of leaves to coat them evenly. Spread the coated kale onto the cookie sheet in one layer. It won't be a flat layer. See photo.
• 5. Bake in preheated 300°F oven for 16 minutes. Check at 15 minutes - if the kale is turning brown, then use less time for the next batch. If the kale is bright green, then give it an extra minute. While the first batch is cooking, prepare the next batch on a second cookie sheet.
• 6. Once out of the oven, let the chips cool and then carefully put them into a bowl or other container. They are quite crisp, and will stay crisp for several days.
• 7. If you are in a hurry, use a 350°F oven and 9-10 minutes. Watch the kale, though, because it quickly goes from done to scorched.
• 8. Use cajun seasoning for spicy chips, cayenne for hot chips, maybe even a little grated parmesan cheese for Italian chips.

BAKED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange kale on two rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and toss. Season with salt. Bake, rotating trays once, until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Toss with lemon zest.

OVEN BAKED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275°F.
• Fill a large bowl with water and add kale. Swish around to remove any dirt; drain. Dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner.
• Tear the kale leaves into 1" - 2" pieces, discarding the ribs, and place in a bowl.
• Drizzle with olive oil and toss with your hands until evenly coated. Rub each leaf gently between your fingers as you work to ensure each is covered in oil.
• Arrange the leaves in a single layer (with NO overlap) on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Optional: Sprinkle a small amount of parmesan cheese
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until leaves are crispy. Serve. Store in airtight container.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH POLENTA AND KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475˚ F. Lightly brush two rimmed baking sheets with olive oil. Toss the chicken with the garlic and sage on one baking sheet; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss the kale with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on the other baking sheet. Roast the chicken skin-side up until cooked through and the skin is browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roast the kale, tossing halfway through, until browned and crisp around the edges, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 5 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, whisking, until the polenta thickens, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the Parmesan and butter. Serve the chicken with the kale and polenta.

KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Cut kale into 2 to 3 inch pieces.
• Mix vinegar, oil, and salt in a large bowl then add kale and mix by hand.
• Try to get all the leaves covered.
• Place on baking sheets (I like to use parchment paper for easy clean up) and bake at 350 F until they are crispy.
• After about 20 minutes, if it looks like they are not sizzling a bit or getting a little crispy, turn up the heat to 400°F.
• Time for baking varies depending on the size of your chips and desired crispness.
• The outer edges cook quicker than the pieces from near the stem.

CRISPY SOY ROASTED KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the sesame oil and soy sauce together in a large bowl until the mixture looks creamy. Add the kale and toss to coat.
• Lay about half of the kale out on both baking sheets in a single layer, leaving a little room between leaves. You will need to bake them in batches. Bake in the middle of the oven 6 for 7 minutes, then rotate the sheets and bake until the kale is crispy, another 6 to 7 minutes. Gently transfer it to a platter to cool. Repeat for the remaining kale. Serve once cooled.

TUSCAN KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Toss kale with oil in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange leaves in single layer on 2 large baking sheets. Bake until crisp, about 30 minutes for flat leaves and up to 33 minutes for wrinkled leaves. Transfer leaves to rack to cool.

CRISPY KALE "CHIPS"
