Ingredients
- 1 large bunch kale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Remove the stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it completely using a salad spinner or by patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Removing all moisture is crucial for getting crispy chips.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale pieces with extra virgin olive oil. Massage the oil into the kale leaves to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the kale. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned kale leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure not to overcrowd them to ensure they bake evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the trays and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn; they should be crispy but not brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, allowing them to crisp up further as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days to retain their crispness.
