Ingredients
- 200 grams Kale leaves
- 200 grams Spinach leaves
- 1 can Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Rinse the kale and spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Remove the thick stems from the kale leaves and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Carefully place the kale and spinach leaves in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Lightly spray the greens with olive oil spray, tossing them gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the greens, tossing again to distribute the flavors evenly.
Step 7
Arrange the seasoned greens in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is minimal overlap to promote even cooking and crispness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the greens and rotate the pans. Continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the greens are crispy and lightly browned.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the greens to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving. This cooling step will further enhance their crispiness.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side or snack. Enjoy the crunchy delight of low-fat fried greens!
