Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh kale (curly or dinosaur), washed, dried, and torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the kale: Start by washing your kale thoroughly. Pat the leaves completely dry – dryness is key to crispiness. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, ready to transform into chips.
  2. Season the kale: In a large bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil, making sure each leaf is lightly coated. Sprinkle garlic powder, grated Parmesan, and sea salt evenly over the leaves. Toss again gently to combine all the flavors.
  3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the kale leaves out on a baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to ensure each chip crisps properly during baking.
  4. Bake to crispy perfection: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Check halfway to stir gently for even crisping. Remove once the edges are brown and the leaves are crisp but not burnt.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Let the kale chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This final step helps them set to the perfect crunch before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Ensure kale is completely dry before oiling to prevent soggy chips.
  • Use your hands to toss the kale gently yet thoroughly with oil and seasonings for even coating.
  • Bake at a moderate temperature to avoid burning and ensure crisp texture.
  • Spread kale pieces in a single layer for optimal airflow and crunch.
  • Watch baking time closely; chips can burn quickly near the end.
