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, sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread kale in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow even crisping.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Cool slightly before serving. Chips will crisp further as they cool.
Notes
Adjust bake time for crispier or softer texture. Ensure kale is fully dry before baking. Avoid freezing, as texture becomes soggy. Handle gently after baking. Customize flavor with additional spices or heat. Store in airtight container up to two days for best crunch.
