Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it completely using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough stems.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the kale pieces to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the chips from crisping evenly.
Bake the kale chips in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
