Hi Bold Bakers!

I know it sounds crazy but I love to get creative with my microwave. You guys have seen me work microwave magic with all kind of mug recipes from Mug Pizza to Mug Brownie but I bet you have never seen anything quite like this! These Microwave Kale Chips are a real game changer as far as microwave recipes go.

I have made over a hundred Microwave recipes both sweet and savory but I have to say these new microwave snack recipes might be my new favorite. These microwave kale chips are made with just 3 ingredients, take 3 short minutes and are super healthy. What more could you ask for from a snack?

This popular snack is high in fiber with no fat making it the perfect thing to eat if you’re trying to keep your snacks clean. I see these in all kinds of grocery stores but I so much prefer to make my own. These Microwave Kale Chips are a great way to use leftover kale and my favorite part is that this recipe allows for so much room to experiment. I like to add whatever seasoning I have around like chipotle powder, garlic powder or dry herbs! You must add these to your snack repertoire; they are a winner!

I tried this and they are delicious but like others, my second batch turned into a mini fire. Would baking work?

I make these all the time in my 1200 watt microwave and never had a fire. Not sure why that happened to some of you. But the Takeaway is don’t walk away from the microwave. Stand there and watch it just in case.

V nice. I have a non turntable microwave so just put some parchment paper on the base to cook them on and turned the paper 180 degrees halfway through cooking.

Wow. This is a must. So tasty and super healthy. Cant wait to try them out on the kids. As for fires, we had no issues. X

Made these several times and no fires just delicious chips ( maybe different microwave ovens are more powerful then others).

These worked perfectly for me Gemma. I started with 2 minutes in the microwave as my kale was bought preshredded and smaller than you recommend then I continued for another minute. I’m going to use mine crumbled up as a condiment in or seasoning in quiche and savoury scones.
