Ingredients
  

Kale Chips
  • 1 bunch kale (stems removed, torn into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

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, sea salt, and nutritional yeast if using, until evenly coated.
  4. Spread kale in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even crisping.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Cool slightly before serving. Chips will crisp further as they cool.

Notes

Adjust baking time for crispier or softer texture. Ensure kale is completely dry before baking. Avoid freezing, as texture becomes soggy. Handle gently after baking. Customize flavors with spices or yeast. Store in airtight container up to two days for best crunch.
