At the Blue Hill at Stone Barns farm, Tuscan kale is picked when it's young. The leaves are tender enough that they can be roasted and eaten whole. This likely won't be the case with most kale found at farm stands and in grocery stores, so we recommend slicing the leaves into ribbons.

Tips:

  • Choose the right kale: For crispy kale chips, select fresh, young kale with tender leaves. Avoid older kale, as it tends to be more bitter and less crispy.
  • Wash and dry the kale thoroughly: This will help remove any dirt or debris and ensure the kale chips are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  • Massage the kale with oil: This helps to soften the kale and make it more pliable, resulting in crispier chips. Use a neutral-flavored oil such as avocado oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil.
  • Season the kale generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices to flavor the kale chips. Experiment with different seasonings to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Bake the kale chips at a low temperature: This helps to dehydrate the kale slowly and evenly, resulting in crispy chips that are not burnt.
  • Keep an eye on the kale chips while they are baking: The baking time can vary depending on the thickness of the kale chips and the type of oven you are using. Check the chips frequently to prevent them from burning.
