Swiss chard is a staple in the garden. It is a cold season crop so it grows well in the spring garden, doesn’t bolt in the summer heat and continues to grow in to the cold weather of the fall. When cared for properly, swiss chard will produce for months.

We love using it in stir fries, poutine and also as chips! Swiss chard comes in a variety of colours which look beautiful in the garden, but we find the white variety always performs best for us.

Read on to learn how to make swiss chard chips in just a few quick steps.

Ingredients

• 2-3 large swiss chard leaves (amount needed depends on the size of the leaves and the pan)
• Olive oil
• Salt

Instructions to Make Swiss Chard Chips

Step 1

Pick a few leaves off the plant. Wash them and pat them dry, or dry them in a salad spinner. If the leaves are not dry they may not cook properly.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 3

Cut the stem off and cut or tear the leaves in to chip size pieces.

Step 4

Lay the swiss chard leaves in a single layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle salt and olive oil on all of the leaves, ensure they are all lightly coated.

Step 5

Once the oven is heated, put the swiss chard in the oven for 15 minutes or until the leaves are crispy. Be careful to not let them burn.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and enjoy! The chips taste best right out of the oven and do not keep (they will soften again and lose their crunch).

That’s it!

A super quick and easy garden snack that is both tasty and nutritious. These chips are just another great way to use swiss chard!
