Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Remove the kale leaves from their tough central stems and tear them into large, bite-sized pieces. Wash the kale thoroughly in a colander, then dry completely using a salad spinner or patting with paper towels. It's important that the kale is dry to achieve maximum crispiness.
Place the dried kale pieces into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently toss the leaves to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika over the oiled kale leaves. Toss lightly to distribute the seasonings across all the leaves.
Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the leaves are not overlapping too much to allow for even cooking.
Bake the kale in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Check the kale for doneness; it should be crispy to the touch. If necessary, bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the kale chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a crispy snack later.
