Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the kale and spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Remove the thick stems from the kale leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Carefully place the kale and spinach leaves in a large mixing bowl.
Lightly spray the greens with olive oil spray, tossing them gently to ensure an even coating.
In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the greens, tossing again to distribute the flavors evenly.
Arrange the seasoned greens in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is minimal overlap to promote even cooking and crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the greens and rotate the pans. Continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the greens are crispy and lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow the greens to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving. This cooling step will further enhance their crispiness.
Serve immediately as a side or snack. Enjoy the crunchy delight of low-fat fried greens!
