Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh kale
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash the kale thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.

Step 3

Dry the kale completely using a salad spinner or gently pat dry with clean kitchen towels. Ensure that the kale is as dry as possible to achieve crispiness.

Step 4

Remove the kale leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite-sized pieces. Discard the stems.

Step 5

Place the kale leaves in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Using your hands, toss the kale pieces until evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Step 7

Arrange the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap to allow even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 9

After 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and gently stir the kale pieces to ensure even baking.

Step 10

Continue baking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until the kale chips are crispy and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 11

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store the cooled kale chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
