do you think you could freeze them so they’d stay crunchy longer if you make a big batch?

I love kale chips and have been on that bandwagon for a long time. Your sweet onion/mejool date mixture is brilliant. I can’t wait to try this one. Another thing I do is dehydrate kale when it’s in season and I’m getting tons of it from my CSA. I use it for backpacking food. I add it to soups and rice when out in the wilderness. It weighs nothing and gives my “instant” soups and camp dinners a huge nutrition boost.

Great post, Sea!

I’ve been wanting to get a dehydrator…one more good reason. We get tons of kale at the CSA and we love kale chips (I make mine in the oven). I usually only ever sprinkle them with oil & salt but love the idea of adding balsamic vinegar.

Hi Diane,
I’ve not made them in the oven, but I’m sure you could make a recipe in the oven. It probably wouldn’t technically be a “raw” recipe because the temperature would likely be too high for that, but it would still be a healthy snack.

Here is a forum where they discuss using an oven as a dehydrator:

Basically you can put it on the lowest setting, preferably with a thermometer, and leave the door open 2-6 inches. If it is possible to get a fan involved, that would be cool, but it wouldn’t be practical for my kitchen.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes. You could always blast it with heat and have a new recipe! Oh, also, I am not sure how long the recipe would take in the oven. I imagine it would take less than 4 hours, but you’ll just have to try it and let me know!
