This is by far the best health food I've ever made! I have to say I am surprised since I was only expecting something edible. It satisfies cravings for something crunchy without the high GI rating of potato chips. I'm following the South Beach diet right now and this recipe will make it a lot easier to stay away from junk food now and after I am done with the phase 1 and 2. It's pretty easy to go to heavy on the seasoned salt. I think less is more for this recipe; or just leave it off. I did one batch without salt and still thought it tasted great. I also used spray oil in order to cover the kale easily. I burnt my first batch. Other than looking really bad they still tasted good. You just have to make sure to take them out when you notice the edges starting to brown on some of the kale. There isn't a very big window between starting to brown and very brown. That said, I don't think I'd take this to a party unless a lot of health conscious friends were attending. The chips don't really look like they would taste good. I don't think the average person would be willing to try them unless they were looking for a healthy alternative to potato chips.

I keep a large batch of the spice mixture in a plastic shake jar in the fridge so it's always ready. I use a pastry brush to lightly coat with evoo then shake on the spices. ( try smoked paprika!) Instead of a baking sheet I use the top part of the broiler pan (sprayed) so air can circulate and aid in crisping. I serve with jalapeño ranch. Depending on how hot you can stand it....1 lg jalapeño rough chopped and 1 cup ranch blended together in the mini chopper.
