I was reminded just how delicious these were when I was recipe testing for the BMS Renew collection. Kale chips were radical when they came to the health food scene and I had kind of forgotten about them until now. These shatter with such a satisfying sound and I ate almost a whole batch the day I made them. Try them immediately if you have an abundance of kale in your garden like me, or a wilting bunch in your crisper!
