Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and thoroughly dry kale leaves. Remove stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss kale with olive oil, salt, chili powder, and cayenne until evenly coated without excess moisture.
- Spread kale in a single layer on baking sheet, ensuring pieces do not overlap for even crisping.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning, especially with spices.
- Cool slightly before serving. Chips will become crispier as they cool.
Notes
Adjust spice levels to preference for milder or hotter chips. Bake longer for crispier texture or less for slightly tender results. Avoid freezing, as texture becomes soggy. Handle gently after baking. Customize with different spice blends. Store in airtight container up to two days.
