I have found the ultimate healthy snack!
You can eat a whole bowl and it won't make you gain weight. But if you do eat the whole bowl, it might give you a tummy ache and and some gas. So I would advise to only eat half the bowl. Not that I would know about eating a whole bowl of anything....ahem....cough.
Last week I saw these on Leslie's blog, A Hungry Housewife. I made them once and just loved them. They are almost as good as potato chips. No lie.
So I started experimenting with different flavors. First it was garlic and onion. Then it was Parmesan cheese. Now I am addicted to kale chips with chili powder. I just hope I don't start turning green.
These chips can be made with any flavoring you like. I have even heard that they can be made with cinnamon and sugar for a sweet effect. That might be next on my list to try.
While my husband is watching the games with some Buffalo wings, I will be sitting next to him with a big bowl of kale chips. I'll even offer to share.

I like kale made into chips.

I love kale chips too, but haven't made them in so long for some reason. Maybe it is because I need to revitalize my recipe with some of your seasoning. It sounds wonderful.

You've convinced me to try my hand at kale chips again...maybe a little spice will help me. Actually, I think I may have burned my first batch. Your version looks awesome, though---I so want to like kale. Thank you for some inspiration. 🙂

I've read so much about kale chips but never took the time to make them. Your description is all the incentive I need.

I saw those too and wanted to make them with a cheesy addition.
Those nacho cheese ones at trader joes were so good but crazy expensive!
