yup. they’re gross. I don’t know why people go on about them. They are proud of the fact that they actually used their kale instead of letting it turn to black mush in their refridgerator. I have one kale recipe that involves hiding it in pork meatballs. Then kale is delicious.

Nice idea, and I’d probably eat them, all of them, if presented to me (if sufficiently salted), but to me “chips” require some amount of fat.

I don’t know that they were brown, but I guess you can see from the picture. Before this point they seemed limp and not crunchy. Maybe I need to experiment with just a few at a time rather than a whole head. I don’t know if kale will still be in season by my next trip to the farmers’ market, so we’ll see.

You have over-cooked your kale. Don’t cook them until they turn brown, as I am sure you were left with a saw-dusty skeleton, but rather just until they start to look dry and slightly discolored. You need to give this another try!
