Wow! To think I didn't think these would be good, but they are fantastic. I did put too much salt on the first batch, but they were still delicious. I mixed the kale, salt, & olive oil in bowl, baked at 275, about 15 minutes. Used broiler pan so didn't have to turn them over. When I get home tonight, I'm going to make more. My son, who raises organic vegetables, says bitterness could be from hot summer weather. He apologized for the taste quality of his when he brought it over, & I agreed it wasn't as good as other batches. However, chips came out super. Thanks, Melissa!

I cooked mine in a convection oven at 325 for 14 min like another reviewer said. Delicious!! I might take a min or two off the time, as a few we're getting a bit more brown than I liked. My picky two year old even loved them!

So, we accidentally put on too much olive oil on the first batch. We put it in the oven with salt on a cooling rack for 13 min on 275. We tasted it and it was a little burned but we experimented by adding a little lemon juice...AMAZING!!! It tasted like salt and vinegar chips but it felt good that it was a healthy alternative. On the second batch we added a little more salt and adjusted the time down to nine minutes....PERFECT!

I don't agree with the "tasty" part of other reviews. Yes it tastes like a chip, crunchy and salty, but don't taste what kale taste like. After ready other reviews, cooked them for 28 min. at 275 and think 20 min. might be too short to get them all crispy.

This recipe didn't work for me at all. The low temperature made the chips limp. To make them crispy took a lot more time and by then the olive oil burned off leaving them very dry.

Took other viewers suggestions - used prewashed bagged kale, tossed with olive oil, convection oven 325 for 14 minutes. Sprinkled with sea salt and squeezed 1/2 fresh lime, tossed and enjoyed. Super easy and Very tasty! Texture similar to nori.

Finally, an oven temperature that doesn't burn the kale quickly! Very easy to manage the kale to come out crispy. Awesome!

Positively amazing, I am not one for veggies. This one is yum yum yum, I would have thought that a person would have to develop a taste for these to like them and eat them but not really... Totally loved it with the first bite. Definitely takes the place of potato chips.

Absolutely wonderful! I can barely get my husband or my teens to eat veggies; they ate the whole bunch. No bitterness here. Perhaps the quality of the kale makes a difference. Mine did not start out too tough. My only complaint is that it took a while to get from start to finish. Next time I'll look for pre-washed.

Here are my tweaks. 1 mixed kale pieces in a bowl with kosher salt and onion powder 2 cooked one batch on a cooling rack and another on a perforated pizza pan - both worked. No soggy chips, quicker cooking 3 cooked at 275 degrees in a traditional oven for 10 minutes on side and another 6 on the other. Not convinced they needed to be turned if they are elevated. 4 I taste tested for seasoning before putting them in the oven.

I made this tonight; the kale chips came out crunchy but they have a really bitter after taste. Is it because of the kale?
