Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry completely with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces, roughly 2-3 inches in size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale pieces with the olive oil. Massage the leaves gently to ensure they are evenly coated with oil.
Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper over the kale. Toss again to distribute the spices uniformly.
Spread the kale out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none of the pieces overlap. This helps them crisp up evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the kale is crispy but not too dark. Check at the 20-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
Enjoy your crispy baked kale chips as a guilt-free snack or as an accompaniment to your favorite keto dishes.
