Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups kale leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Remove the thick stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently massage it into the leaves to ensure even coating.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the kale and toss lightly to distribute.
Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the kale are crisp but not burnt.
Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
