I have read on various sites how people make their own chips at home and theirs look quite professional with attention to detail, mine is a more "busy-mom" way..
The recipe can be improved in the ways that I will list, but this simple, least-possible-effort way that I used also worked perfectly.
Ingredients:
- Bunch kale (I used a version called farmers market bunch, I assume it's for cooking, it's not baby kale, I thought the thicker the better for chips)
- Chile-lime seasoning from Trader Joe's (as desired)
- Olive oil (3 table spoons) ( I used olive+grape seed oil)
- Aluminum foil
Directions:
Wash the kale and cut it into smaller pieces with hand, almost in the shape and size of potato chips.
Try to dry the dry the pieces as much as you can ( I left them in the strainer for a few minutes and shake them well, but recommended way would be use a paper towel to pat them (almost) dry).
Transfer the kale pieces to a bowl and add the olive oil and seasoning.
Stir to make sure all pieces are oiled and seasoned.
Cover the bottom of your trays with aluminum foil.
Transfer the kale pieces separately on to the aluminum foil.
Turn on the oven in the broil-high setting.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until they look brownish on top.
Enjoy immediately, they are not as good when kept over night.
I didn't add any salt or herbs in addition to Trader Joe's seasoning. It turned out amazing!.
Afiyet Olsun! Enjoy!
PS:
As mentioned above this recipe can be improved. Here are some ways I thought would help better chips:
- dry your kale throughly using paper towel
- use cooking spray to oil your chips
- use the seasoning separately on each piece instead of putting the oil and seasoning in the bowl
