Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold running water, and dry them completely using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Remove the tough stems from the kale by holding the stem in one hand and pulling the leaf away from the stem with the other hand.
Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the kale, and use your hands to gently massage the oil into the leaves until they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using) over the kale, and toss to combine and distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the kale leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure the kale crisps up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the kale leaves are crispy and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overcooking and burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the kale cool for a few minutes. The kale will become even crispier as it cools.
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish, and enjoy the delicious crunch of oven-roasted kale!
