Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh kale
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water and pat it completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-3 inches each.
Step 4
Place the kale pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently massage the leaves with your hands to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the kale, tossing to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 7
Spread the kale pieces onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the kale chips to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
Step 10
Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
