Questions about Kale chips
How do you make crispy kale chips in the oven?
Wash the kale, remove the tough stems and dry the leaves very thoroughly; even a little water can make them limp. Toss with a light coating of oil and bake in a single layer at 130°C for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until crisp at the edges.
Why do my kale chips go soggy?
The leaves may not have been completely dry, or they may have been crowded on the tray. Let them cool in a single layer before storing; trapped steam softens them quickly.
How should you store kale chips?
Once completely cool, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature and eat them within a couple of days. Don’t refrigerate them, as moisture makes them lose their crunch.
What can you season kale chips with?
Try smoked paprika, garlic powder, chilli flakes or finely grated hard cheese. Add powdered seasonings before baking so they cling to the oiled leaves; add a squeeze of lemon just before serving, as liquid softens the chips.
What do kale chips go well with?
Serve them as a crunchy snack, or crumble them over soup, a grain bowl or a salad just before eating. They also work alongside hummus or a yoghurt-based dip.
Are kale chips lower in energy than vegetable crisps?
Kale chips have 167 kcal per 100 g, compared with 473 kcal in vegetable crisps. The amount of oil used can make a big difference to the energy in homemade kale chips.
Are kale chips the same as baked kale?
Not quite: kale chips are baked until the leaves turn crisp, while baked kale is usually cooked for less time and stays tender. Remove the thick stems for chips, and spread the leaves out so they crisp rather than steam.
