Preheat your oven to 150Β°C (300Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash and dry the kale. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, and paprika over the kale, and gently toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently after 10 minutes to ensure the edges do not burn. The chips should be crispy but not browned.
Remove the kale chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days to maintain crispiness.
