  2. Totally works! …and much quicker than my dehydrator or oven methods, so convenient. Verified I don’t have a super duper microwave first after I read comments of fires in microwaves. (You could reduce the microwave power perhaps.) Got lots of kale from my garden I can now eat in the weeks to come and even preserve if I freeze them. Because COVID. Thanks!

  4. I made these with curly kale , it was what i had. Delicious ! The first ones i did with coconut oil and salt , the second i added nutritional yeast as well. My new treat. Theres so many things i cant eat , as i have various conditions . I ate twice as much as i would do normally and of course i didnt feel stuffed. K

  5. I found it's best to keep it around 2 minutes, maybe 2 minutes 15 seconds in my 1200W microwave, for one layer of a 10 inch plate of curly kale. More layers and it starts to stick to each other and takes longer, but can be pulled apart if you're careful and sorta saves time but the color is much duller with the extended cooking. You don't need oil.

    To keep it from sparking(I've had it catch fire once because I told my friend to watch it to make sure it doesn't start glowing and she…didn't), just put a small cup of ice water(I put ice mainly to keep it from boiling or superheating then exploding) next to it, refilling the water/ice as necessary. The water absorbs excess microwave energy as it gets dryer so it doesn't catch fire. I've had it spark at around 2 minutes without water. With the water, it slows down the process so it can take up to 10 minutes to fully dry, but never sparks.

  14. I have been baking the kale forover two years now and you're right, it is a always a gamble: some over cooked, so under cooked…etc.  I like the idea of the microwave and will certainly try it. Also, I used the curly kale as the other variety wasnt available here in the local shops. I will track it down and try it!.  THANKS SO MUCH!

  24. tried your recipe and it turned out really well, thank you. amended ingredients, used same dinosaur kale, but no oil (I'm obese and trying to reduce calories), and much less salt than you used (high blood pressure so I minimize salt where I can and actually, snack worked best for me in terms of taste with lighter sprinkling of salt). because the chips are kale, they still taste like kale but the microwave dehydrates them to a lovely crispness, very nice snack. Thanks ATK

  25. found a place that sells lacinato kale and the organic lady there argued with me about microwaving it. "Microwaving destroys all the nutrients blah blah blah." ugh hippies. i tried telling her science has debunked that but she wouldn't listen.

  26. I just tried this out with a 700w microwave for 3 minutes and they came out perfectly crisp! I was sceptic but it's far quicker (and uses less electricity) this way! I'm so happy, no more potato chips! =)
