Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale leaves (curly or lacinato)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and dry them completely using a salad spinner or pat them with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure the leaves are completely dry to achieve maximum crispiness.
Remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches in size.
Place the kale pieces into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to massage the oil into the leaves to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, flaky sea salt, and black pepper to create the 'everything bagel' seasoning blend.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled kale leaves and toss gently to ensure an even distribution of the spices.
Spread the seasoned kale leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can prevent proper crisping.
Bake the kale chips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
Check the kale chips at the 18-minute mark. They should be crispy but not browned or burned. Adjust cooking time as needed, keeping a close eye in the final minutes.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the tray for 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further.
Transfer the cooled kale chips to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
