We could practically write an ode to kale chips — the snack that stole our nation's heart — but won't, as you may already be familiar with the crispy-crunchy (yet utterly guilt-free) qualities that make them a snacking staple. That said, we will share six of our favorite ways to cook them up to perfection. Keep reading, and get to it!
Spicy Miso Kale Chips
Spice things up with a batch of these crisps, which are topped off with shichimi togarashi, a readily available Japanese seven-spice blend. Equal parts tangy and savory from a miso and rice wine vinegar based dressing, they'll go fast.
Cheesy Kale Chips
Vegan food skeptics, step aside. These cheesy kale chips contain no actual cheese (or dairy for that matter) yet possess that same umami twang and addictive nature of a cheese-laden chip. They even passed muster (and then some) with our office's most vehement cheese-substitute haters.
Maple Bacon Kale Chips
Both naughty and nice, maple bacon kale chips are bound to convert even the most stalwart carnivores in your life with their smoky-sweet one-two punch.
Classic Kale Chips
If you're looking for a pared-down version, try classic kale chips. Alternatively, use this recipe as a blueprint for your own flavor experiments; just make sure to share any favorite combinations in the comments!
Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips
Inspired by salt and vinegar potato chips, this healthy substitute captures the same can't-put-'em-down quality, without even a glimmer of guilt.
Kale and Sweet Potato Chips
For a snack that's a little bit sweet and a little bit savory, mix things up with a combination of simply seasoned sweet potato and kale chips.
