how do i make crunchy kale chips that dont fall apart page

[Jamie Madrox]

Tried my hand at the last night and did everything i saw in recipes. I tore of the stems throughly dried the leaves tossed in oil and put on a baking sheet in a single layer and baked them. They didnt coke out crunchy but more crispy and unless i picked them up with care they just dicintegrated before getting to my mouth.

Help please.

Are you putting too much olive oil? What I do is wash, dry, and toss with VERY little olive oil. Then I bake at 375 for 17 minutes, turning & shaking the tray once halfway through. After they come out, I will put a little vinegar on them. Mine always come out crunchy. What temp & how long are you cooking? I had to play around a bit to get them crispy.

1 Tbsp of olive/coconut/avacado oil per bunch of kale/swiss chard etc...Add your spices, mix thoroughly, then place on a cookie sheet and bake on lower heat(anywhere from 200-250). Usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Keep trying, but the lower the heat, the better. JMHO Good luck, and May the Grok be with you:-)

I baked them at 350 for about 30 mins and for 2 sheets worth of chips i used 1 tbsp olive oil. Ill try the lower temp method tonight see if that is better.
