Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the stems and tough center ribs, then tear the leaves into large, bite-sized pieces.
Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently toss until each piece is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper over the kale, using your hands to distribute the spices evenly.
Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces do not overlap for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Check on the chips to ensure they are crisp but not burnt. If needed, bake for an additional 2-5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
