Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Remove the kale leaves from the tough stems and tear or cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Place the kale pieces into a large bowl. Add the olive oil and toss well, ensuring all kale pieces are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the kale. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned kale pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges of the kale are crisp and lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. The chips will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
