Harvesting kale can be done one of two ways: a cut and come again style where you only remove the largest leaves, allowing the plant to grow, and removing the entire plant (as I do in this video). Harvest early in the morning for best flavor and crispness. If you’re harvesting a lot of kale at once, enjoy this quick and easy kale chips recipe:
– Kale
– Salt, pepper, smoked paprika
– Enough olive oil to lightly coat the surface of each leaf
Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes until lightly crispy, then enjoy!

What do you like to do with your kale? Always looking for recipes!
Kevin where do I get those overalls?
What causes kale to bolt
My kales looks younger than this but they have spikes on them is that normal? I can’t find an answer on the internet.
Life is arriving the most beautiful time, eat……….
My Kale seeds have germinated so I’m very excited about having some Kale over the winter even though the seedlings will have to survive a hot English summer!
You can always do a quick soak in cold salt water to get rid of pests.
How do I keep birds from eating my kale?
I noticed your comment about leaving roots in the ground. I am new to gardening. Do you recommend doing this with all plants? I just harvested some cauliflower and cabbage today and was going to plant some new seeds in the garden in their place. Should I leave the root in the ground even though I will plant a new seed there? Thank you!
Hi, nice up. gud one~!. i'm still new in this, need support.
Here's a link to an amazing creamed kale and spinach recipe, I would sub olive oil instead of butter because it comes out a bit salty. https://youtu.be/7rBVTsASmbU
Great video, I like to sautee kale with olive oil, fresh garlic , salt pepper, and adobo sin pimiento
Voila!
I've been eating kale for about 15 years. Love it. Fresh in salads or roasted with cauliflower and brussel sprouts or juiced.
Have you grown ube? Im growing ube from aerial tubers i bought last year. I was afraid it wasnt coming back, but it did 🙂
Ahhhhh. That's kale. I always got it with seafood, and was always yelled at for eating it. Lol
I copied a Kale Salad that I had at Jimbo's. Dino Kale, green onions, red cabbage finely sliced. Carrots large grate. They used dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds but I like raisins and sunflower seeds. Easy dressing is apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard and a little vegan mayo spread. Just the kale, green onions, red cabbage and carrot keeps covered very well in the refrigerator and then add the others as you eat it.
They look good. I made them once n cut them too small. After baking they shrunk n crumbled when I touched them. I'd like to try again. It's pretty much the only way I eat kale. I find it to be rubbery when raw.
I'll make you a deal, when I figure out how to reach decent profitability with my small gardenursery I'll buy that apron. Maybe spring time haha.
Save a handful of that pre-baked kale and put it on top of a pizza with some red pepper flakes. You're essentially making kale chips baked on top of a pizza. YUM!
Sometimes I pull out the stem and use it in a sandwich like lettuce.
Thanks thats very helpful. I love kale chips too.
Iv sprayed them with amino acids (keto version of soy sauce) and some Wasabi and its awesome
Also any kind of vinegar with salt
It doesn't last long
Iv also tried bbq seasoning
I am in zone 9b, my kale has been growing for over a year now. and today i noticed it was flowering on the tops. ive grown many different kids of kale and even this same type and have never had flowering before. any advice on what to do next.today i cut off most of the flowering tips in hopes of delaying losing these plant altogether. i picked a bunch and will store until the last moment. of course I also made kale chips and soup with the other kale.can i keep letting it grow even if it flowering? or should i just pull it out now? i will let a few flower so i can collect seeds.
I got a kale plant at one of the plant stores at the farmers market, but the leaves started to turn yellow and droop. Is there anyway to revive the plant without overwatering it? And also would this plant be OK to eat?
@Epic Gardening.. love all your videos. How do you deal with slugs? I've tried so many things and they just take over and eat everything.
I always add kale to my soups and in between the layers of lasagna. I also use it anytime a recipe calls for spinach.
Wish I had planted this in like September
I love kale in Tuscan soup!! Zuppa Toscana!
Hi Kevin many thanks for your informative video. We appreciate your time and information. I use kale & spinach in smoothies very good for my eye sight. I have big problem with pest on my leaves white spots and some yellow circles. How do I get manage my problem. Many thanks
kale chips are disgusting no matter how tou try to sell them off,,, the only thing to do wityh kale is liquidize it with seaweed then dry and roast it with seaweed into snacks,
