Kale chips have been my latest go-to snack. I don't eat potato chips often, but when I do get a craving for a bag of chips, these crispy kale chips satisfy my craving.
I love that I get more greens into my diet in a fun way. These Ranch Kale Chips are just that - a fun healthy crunchy snack.
I like to buy several bunches of kale and make a few flavors at once. Some other kale chip recipes I've made are Cheesy Kale Chips, Wasabi Kale Chips, BBQ Kale Chips, and Nacho Kale Chips.

Should I Remove The Stems?
Yes, you'll want to remove the stems, including the center rib. They are tough and chewy.
How to Remove The Stems
Using a knife, cut right next to the stem on both sides. You can also hold the leaf in your hand and strip the leaves off away from you.
What Type of Kale Should I use?
You can use any variety of kale you want. I prefer any of the curly varieties of kale.
Ways To Use Nutritional Yeast
I use nutritional yeast anywhere I want a cheesy flavor.
👩🏻🍳 Recipe FAQs
If your kale chips aren't crispy, you need to bake them longer.
