Cooking Steps

Prep & Start Kale Chips
1

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Remove and discard any large stems from kale if necessary. Pat very dry with paper towels. TIP: Patting kale very dry ensures that it won’t steam, guaranteeing an extra-crispy texture. • Toss kale on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, Everything Bagel Seasoning, and a big pinch of salt and pepper; spread out in a single layer. Bake on top rack until crispy, 15-20 minutes. (For 4 servings, toss everything together in a large bowl; divide between two baking sheets and bake on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)

Make Nut Clusters
2

• While kale bakes, in a medium bowl, combine almonds, cashews, pepitas, hot honey, half the plain honey, and a pinch of salt; stir to evenly coat. • Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread nut mixture out in a single layer across prepared sheet. • Roast on middle rack until nuts are toasted and browned, 15-20 minutes. (For 4 servings, wait until kale chips are finished baking before roasting nut mixture.) • Let cool at least 10 minutes, then break into smaller, bite-size pieces. TIP: Letting the mixture cool will give it time to harden and make it easier to break up!

Start Oat Balls
3

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, and remaining plain honey. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until chocolate has melted, 30-45 seconds. Carefully remove plastic wrap and whisk until smooth. • Stir in oats and a pinch of salt. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill for 5-10 minutes. TIP: Don’t chill oat mixture for more than 10 minutes or it will become too hard to roll! • Place sesame seeds in a small bowl and reserve for next step.

Finish Oat Balls
4

• Once oat mixture is cool enough to handle, roll into 10-12 1-inch balls (20-24 balls for 4 servings). (TIP: Coat your hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking!) Working one at a time, press tops of oat balls into sesame seeds.

Finish Kale Chips
5

• Once kale has baked 15-20 minutes, remove from oven. Carefully grate Parmesan cheese over kale. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, 3-5 minutes more.

Serve or Stash
6

• To Serve: Transfer kale chips and nut clusters to separate serving bowls. Transfer oat balls to a serving plate. Serve family style and let everyone snack as desired.

• To Stash: Let kale chips and nut clusters cool completely. Transfer kale chips, nut clusters, and oat balls to separate airtight containers. Enjoy kale chips and nut clusters for up to 4 days; refrigerate oat balls for up to 5 days.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the nut clusters and oat balls, though some found the chocolate too bitter or sweet.
  • Ease of prep: Kale chips were challenging due to pre-chopped kale; nut clusters sometimes burned or didn't stick together well.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing cooking time for nuts to avoid burning. Add more peanut butter to oat balls for better cohesion.
  • Portions: Some wished for more nuts in the clusters and found the oat ball portions small.
  • Kale chips: Using whole kale leaves instead of pre-chopped would make better chips that are easier to prepare.
