This recipe was a hit with my 16 month old.  I did not like how the kale crisped up but he ate in anyway.  I will make this one again for sure!  This recipe was inspired by The Muffin Tin Cookbook.  Her recipe is slightly different (does not use banana but maple syrup) and she puts the sweet potato cut in coins on top of the kale which I am sure would prevent the kale from dehydrating.  I adapted this recipe to meet the needs of my little one.
