I don’t know what you may or may not be thinking, so let me just clarify… These are Delicious! They are crispy and salty, with more an earthier flavor than you could ever get from a potato chip. I think they would be a great side dish for any meal. But they are really just good on their own, a very easy starter, appetizer or snack. They are perfect finger foods! (But check your teeth when you’re finished.) Only four ingredients and completely guilt free.
As found in Barefoot Contessa’s Make it Ahead:
1 Large bunch of flat-leaf kale
Good olive oil
Course salt
Plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375°. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
With a sharp knife, remove and discard the hard rib from the center of each leaf, leaving the leaves. Place them on the sheet pans, drizzle or brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and bake for about 10 minutes, until crispy. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake for another 5-7 minutes. Cool and serve.
- I like to brush them with the oil for even coverage. And yes, baking kale gives off a peculiar aroma (like many leafy greens and broccoli.)
A great time for a new appetizer! Looks good and easy to make. Since kale is so healthy, I think I might like this more than blending it in a smoothie. Who doesn’t like chips?
Exactly!
Btw, I also like that it looks wintry and snowy for the season!
Good eye;)
This is totally intriguing!!! I was thinking, huh? lol but this sounds really good! I have to try this!

My daughter and I love kale chips! I’ve never thought to add Parmesan, though… they’re going to be even tastier now. Thanks for the tip!
You’re welcome! I think you’ll like the Parm:)
I will surely try
They’re so easy, and really good!
You have made these for me before and they are so delicious I actually have craved them! Thanks for posting the recipe?

I love the addition of parmesan to the kale chips!
A fellow cheese lover would! ?
So here I find the answer to why my kale chips did not turn out. Thank you. Giving this another try, with the ribs out and the olive oil on. Thank you.
Lol! Glad I could help!
