Additions And Variations
This baked kale chips recipe is utterly simple. However, there are a few fun flavor variations you can try if you want to switch it up.
- Cheesy: After drizzling with olive oil, sprinkle on some parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast with the salt for a dose of vitamins and a light cheesy flavor
- Spicy: If you like a kick of heat, adding red pepper flakes, Aleppo pepper, or cayenne pepper for a spicy, salty taste is a fun variation.
- Sweet: You can make these kale chips like a dessert by drizzling on maple syrup with olive oil. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and the salted, maple flavor pops.
- Ranch - use a ranch seasoning with the salt
- Tahini - along with the olive oil, drizzle some tahini onto the kale before roasting for a nutty flavor
- Garlic - why not add some sliced garlic to the kale, or even some garlic powder to create a garlicky kale chip
- Curry - add a touch of curry powder to the oil before baking and create curry kale chips
- Salt & Vinegar - along with the salt, add a splash of white vinegar to create a salt and vinegar kale chip
