Chocolate Coconut Kale Chips | Real Food Kosher

I can’t remember the last time I had something crunchy, crispy, and chocolatey at the same time – so I’m really loving these Chocolate Coconut Kale Chips. Actually, I’m quite addicted to them!

Making kale chips is really easy. But if you don’t have a dehydrator, check out my regular kale chips post on tips to keep them crisp and not turn bitter.

And if you’re already a pro at homemade kale chips, the prep is not much different. Here you are making a homemade chocolate syrup with coconut oil, cocoa powder, and honey, and incorporating that into the torn up kale leaves. I add some coconut flakes for taste and nutrition.

Whisking Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Most recipes for chocolate kale chips I’ve seen use nuts – but I wanted a nut free simplified version of what’s out there. But trust me, it won’t be lacking in taste. Let me know what you think, and if you’ve made your own version!

Chocolate Coconut Kale Chips
Coconut oil is solid at room temperature. To liquify it – place the jar of coconut oil inside a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.

1 bunch organic kale, washed and dried and torn into large pieces
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup coconut flakes

1. Whisk the coconut oil, cocoa powder, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a large bowl to make a chocolate syrup.
2. Mix the kale with the chocolate syrup and incorporate with your fingers. Add in the coconut flakes and mix with your fingers again.
3. Place kale in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake at 250F for about 30-45 minutes. Or, dehydrate in your dehydrator for about 4-5 hours at 115F.

Note: If your bunch of kale seems to be extra-large, add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil and cocoa powder to make sure you can coat all the leaves (or do it anyway for extra chocolate kale chips!).

    These look great! I’d love to try them, but I have a question… Approximately how much kale do you consider a bunch? I pick a variety of types of kale, some large and small, so I never know how much to use. Do you know the approximate weight if the kale you used? Thanks!!

      I’ll measure it out next time I make it… but you don’t need to be exact, you could always make more of the chocolate sauce if you feel it didn’t coat the leaves enough.

    I just tried kale chips last week and now I’m going to have to try this recipe. Does the chocolate give it a smokey flavor?

      Not necessarily, the honey and coconut sweetens it up.

    My favorite kale chip recipe thus far. I find that I can half the recipe for the sauce for one bunch of kale and it comes out perfect. When I tried it first with the full recipe for the sauce, it was too much. Kale bunches do tend to vary in size.
    This is too delicious. I can easily eat the entire bunch!

      So glad you like it!
      And thanks for the tip about halving the recipe – I probably did use a ver large bunch!
