Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh kale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the kale pieces, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 5
Gently massage the kale with your hands to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 6
Arrange the kale in a single layer on a large baking sheet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 8
After 10 minutes, carefully stir the kale to ensure even cooking and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the kale is crisp and slightly browned, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the kale to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to achieve maximum crispiness.
Step 10
Transfer the crispy baked kale to a serving bowl and enjoy as a healthy Whole30-approved snack or side dish.
