Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh kale leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Remove the kale leaves from their thick stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and discard the stems.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil. Make sure each piece is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the kale, along with the garlic powder and paprika if desired. Toss the kale again to distribute the seasonings.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the kale pieces out in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Use two sheets if necessary.
Bake the kale in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the leaves do not burn. The kale is done when the edges are crispy and slightly browned but not charred.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the kale crispies cool for a few minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately for maximum crispiness, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
