Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh kale
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the stems and tough center ribs from each leaf, then tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Place the kale pieces into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss gently until all leaves are evenly coated.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the oiled kale. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the leaves.

Step 5

Arrange the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overcrowd them to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and lightly golden. Check halfway through and adjust the pieces if necessary to ensure even crisping.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two days to maintain their crispiness.
