Ingredients
  

Garlic Kale Chips
  • 1 bunch kale (stems removed, torn into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Parchment Paper
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry kale leaves. Remove stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Toss kale with olive oil, minced garlic, and sea salt until evenly coated without excess moisture.
  4. Spread kale evenly on baking sheet in a single layer to ensure crisp texture.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are crisp and garlic is fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Cool slightly before serving. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool.

Notes

For crispier chips, bake longer at lower heat and ensure kale is fully dry. For softer texture, reduce bake time slightly. Avoid freezing, as texture becomes soggy. Handle gently after baking. Customize flavors with spices or cheese. Store in airtight container up to two days.
