Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water and pat it completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches each.
Place the kale pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently massage the leaves with your hands to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the kale, tossing to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the kale pieces onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark to prevent burning. The chips are done when they are crisp and slightly browned on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the kale chips to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
