Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Remove the kale leaves from their tough central stems and tear them into large, bite-sized pieces. Wash the kale thoroughly in a colander, then dry completely using a salad spinner or patting with paper towels. It's important that the kale is dry to achieve maximum crispiness.
Step 3
Place the dried kale pieces into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently toss the leaves to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika over the oiled kale leaves. Toss lightly to distribute the seasonings across all the leaves.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the leaves are not overlapping too much to allow for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake the kale in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Check the kale for doneness; it should be crispy to the touch. If necessary, bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow the kale chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a crispy snack later.
