Preheat your oven to 300Β°F (150Β°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the kale with olive oil, making sure each piece is lightly coated.
Add salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Toss again until the kale is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy. Be sure to check in between to prevent any burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Enjoy as a snack or side dish!
