More info is needed before we can pat you on the back.

nope.....just tossed them with olive oil and sprinkled just a bit of
kosher salt.

For those who don't know what kale chips are here's the methodology.

Heat your oven to 300

Wash kale thoroughly. remove the ribs and tear or cut into potato
chip sized pieces.
Use a salad spinner and dry the kale thoroughly. Use paper towels to
make sure it's really dry.
Toss with olive oil and put on a baking sheet lined with silpat or
parchment paper in a single layer, you
may need two sheets.
Sprinkle with just a bit of kosher salt.
Bake about 15-20 minutes till it is shatteringly crisp but still quite
green. Don't let it get very brown or
it will be bitter.

You eat them like potato chips, but they are way healthier and more
tasty IMHO.

Toss kale pieces with a little EVOO (a little goes a long way).
Spread evenly in one layer on a baking sheet (mine are large). Bake
350° 10-15 minutes or until it's crispy enough for you. Stir at least
once if the kale isn't in a single layer. Sprinkle with kosher salt
as soon as you take it from the oven. Use just salt the first time.
Garlic is a good addition to the salt - I've done it both ways. I'll
probably use garlic flavored EVOO the next time I make it.

I like to use kale as seasoning in a stuffed turkey.
