Kale + 10 minutes..What's not to love?
Hey Guys! And Happy Monday to you all and I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
It was pretty interesting around here as we just saw our first snow fall of the year and it's March.
That's really not unusual around here...living in the great state of North Carolina it's what we're used to. Well except for the eighty degree weather we were experiencing in February.
And with that being slightly different I had to wonder what March was going bring us.
So with the light dusting we got it was pretty enough to remind me it's still officially Winter..which is Okay since I really do appreciate the changing of seasons.
And as I start thinking about Spring approaching, it also reminds me of more salads, smoothies and popsicle weather.
Do you guys start getting excited about that?
And since I love creating all these wonderful things I hope you'll hang out with me to Enjoy them all!
But anyway, let's get back to the recipe we have to share today... Easy, tasty, and totally addicting.

After making some kale chips which is a huge waste of time for no more than you get, I thought of this idea in my head. And then I see that you already had the recipe tested! Exactly how I was going to do it. No wasting of the kale stems! I used previously grated cheese. I have made cheese chips often, and that’s a timesaver. Next time I’m going to make these using sliced cheese, maybe cut them into quarters. Good quality sliced cheese though. I used a cupcake pan! Keeps them uniform!
Pam
Seasoned with ranch dip mix. Just a smidge. Deeeeelish!
Rosanna
Yes!!!! Winner WINNER! 11 month old baby, 9 year old, myself 33 and dad 44 LOVE THEEEM! We wrap turkey inside them with avocado. We use them as a base for mini pizzas. Possibly the easiest thing to make and so many ways to use!!!
Stephanie
Yay! Glad to hear everyone loves them and thanks for sharing ways you like to use them!🥰
Dee
Can you make them in a dehydrator?
Stephanie
Hi Dee, I haven't personally tested the recipe in a dehydrator, so I can't say for sure. But I think it would work fine. Let me know if you try it!
Denise
I made these yesterday and they are delicious!! However, they are not very crispy...still tasty, but not crispy - any ideas on how to crisp them up?
Stephanie
You can try cooking them a little longer at a lower temperature and see if that crisps them up some. When you originally made them did you make sure they were thin flat circles? Also the the type of cheese you used could make a difference. Did you use already shredded cheese or grate it yourself? Let me know how if this helps.

these are so good, I love the cayenne in them
Stephanie
Thanks and the cayenne really brings out the flavor in them 🙂 One of my favorite snacks for sure!
Dave
Thanks, it's winter here in Tasmania and these will make a nice accompaniment to some home made bone broth!
Stephanie
You're so Welcome Dave! Hope you Enjoy these 🙂
Carrie
What's the proper storage for any extra?
Stephanie
I usually keep any extras in a large zip lock bag in the fridge. But any covered container would work. Keeping them in the fridge just extends the life even though they don't last that long at my house 🙂
Molly Kumar
What a great idea to combine kale + cheese. I love parmesan crisps and often make them at home but I'm loving this flavor combination.
Heather
What a genius way to sneak in some healthy adding in the kale ... I love that these are so easy to make and are so perfect to add with just about any meal you are making .. great munchie for the low carb crusaders too 🙂
Kylee Cooks
I am absolutely making these. I love parm crisps, so adding kale to make them healthier (and added fiber among a million other things!) makes them all the more appealing to me. Pinning for later!
Stef
Thanks Kylee and the Kale does make them healthier. Thanks for pinning 🙂
Brown Sugar
Oh wow! I am pinning this on my Pinterest board and will definitely make these. What a great way to eat your vegetables!
Stef
Yes it is and Thanks for pinning 🙂

This is the second parmesan crisp I am seeing today and I am so much more tempted to try it. The addition of kale is such a brilliant idea to include the greens in our diet. It makes the crisp look so vibrant and attractive!
Noel Lizotte
Crisps are so fun to make ... great way to sneak in some veggies too! I'll bet the kale and parmesan flavors are perfect!
Byron Thomas
I pinned this recipe to my secret Pinterest board earlier today when it showed up in my Pinterest feed. I'm so loving the addition of the kale to the parmesan crisps. Perfect snack for me to sneak into the movies this weekend. 🙂

I love parmesan crisps but I have never thought about adding kale. What a fun way to get some greens in!
Just Jo
If there is anything which will get me to eat kale, it will be cheese 😉 I'm not a huge fan but I can see how good it would be with the parmesan, garlic and spice 😀
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
How did I not know you lived in NC?! We got our second snow of winter over the weekend... so I'm thinking you must live south of me? Anyways, the weather sure is crazy! Another thing is crazy, the fact that I love kale and have yet to make kale crisps... or chips for that matter. These look AMAZING, Stef!! And they are only 4 ingredients? Consider it done. I'm doin' this. Pronto! Cheers, girlie! <3
Stef
Yup, the weather in NC can be Crazy for sure! Well I think actually everywhere this Winter! But seriously I hope you try these since they're so easy and taste Amazing 🙂

Only 4 ingredients? Sign me up....definitely making these.
strawberryblondiekitchen
I think I love you! I never thought of this but it's brilliant. I love kale chips and parmesan crisps and you married the two! I'm running to the store to get some kale so I can make these ASAP!
Stef
Thanks Megan and I know you will absolutely love these as well 🙂
Emily
These seem like such a perfect, quick and healthy snack! I wonder if you could make a big batch and freeze some for later?
Stef
Yes they are Emily! I haven’t tried freezing them yet but I imagine you probably could. I usually just keep a zip lock bag of them in the fridge. But they haven’t lasted very long so I haven’t had to worry about that ?
Mary
I love how quick these are! Ten minutes and four ingredients for a snack like this? Yes please!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables
This looks delicious! I love kale chips and parmesan is one of my favorite cheeses! I bet my husband would love these, too!
Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours
