Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh kale leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
Remove the kale leaves from their thick stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and discard the stems.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil. Make sure each piece is lightly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the kale, along with the garlic powder and paprika if desired. Toss the kale again to distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the kale pieces out in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. Use two sheets if necessary.
Step 7
Bake the kale in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the leaves do not burn. The kale is done when the edges are crispy and slightly browned but not charred.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the kale crispies cool for a few minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately for maximum crispiness, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
