After using a big bunch of chopped kale in your salads, frittata, pasta dish or perhaps in a spinach, ricotta and kale pie, you find there’s still plenty of kale leftover. A great idea to use up lots of kale is to make kale chips! Super light, crispy and tasty, this recipe shows just how versatile kale can be.
