Ingredients

• 1 large bunch kale
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the kale thoroughly and dry completely with a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner.

Step 3

Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding the thick stems.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, grated ginger, soy sauce, sriracha, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, and ground cayenne pepper to create the spicy Thai marinade.

Step 5

Add the kale pieces to the bowl and gently massage the marinade into the leaves with your hands, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.

Step 6

Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure the pieces do not overlap to allow even baking.

Step 7

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the kale if desired.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the baking sheets and gently flip the kale pieces for even crisping.

Step 9

Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and lightly browned but not burnt. Keep a close eye during this step.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the kale chips cool for 5 minutes to crisp up further.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
