Ever side-eyed a bunch of kale like you have no idea what to do with it ? Or maybe you’re that mythical unicorn who actually knows how to make kale chips and has a “massaged kale salad” recipe bookmarked with hearts.
Either way, my friend, pull up a cozy chair, because we need to talk about KALE…and specifically kale chips.
Yes, the crunchy, salty, oddly addictive snack that struts into your kitchen smelling like farts and health benefits.
But First, Why Kale Chips Deserve a Second Chance
I know what you’re thinking. “Kale? Again? Didn’t I suffer enough in 2014?”
Hear me out: these chips are not the sad, limp, flavorless nonsense you once tried during that two-week detox that made you cry. These babies are crispy, flavorful, and the perfect way to pretend you’re eating junk food while secretly leveling up your vitamin game.
✨ Why you should give kale chips a second (or 87th) chance:
- Vitamins A, C, and K – Because strong bones and glowing skin are the actual dream team.
- Antioxidants – helping you age gracefully
- Ridiculously easy to make – Even if your last “easy recipe” ended in a fire extinguisher situation.
How to Make Kale Chips (Without Crying or Setting Off the Smoke Alarm)
Meet Marks. Our in-house kale whisperer and snack magician. He’s breaking it down step-by-step in this video. (Spoiler: He makes it look easy because it is.)
The Basic How-To (No PhD Required)
- Rip that kale like it owes you money.
- Massage it with olive oil like it’s had a long day and needs spa time.
- Sprinkle on salt, spices, maybe a dash of nutritional yeast (if you’re feeling fancy).
- Bake at a low temp until it’s crispy, not charcoal. (We’ve all been there.)

Kale Chips vs. Potato Chips: The Crunch Showdown
Look, I’m not here to cancel potato chips (never betray salty carbs). But kale chips? They’re the “I take care of my body but still love Netflix marathons” kind of snack. Think of them as the best of both worlds: delicious AND helpful, like your bestie who texts you, “DRINK WATER” and sends memes.
So… Are You a Kale Lover or Kale Hater?
No judgment either way —this is a safe space (mostly). But if you’re willing to give kale chips a go, Marks has the magic touch. (Seriously, they’re SO flipping delicious).
Marks’ kale chips are just as good as his secret for cutting an onion without crying. I still can’t do it right!
