Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh kale
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash the kale thoroughly under running water and dry it completely using a salad spinner or paper towels.
3. Remove the tough stems and tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
4. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the kale pieces and toss to ensure even coating.
5. Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika over the kale, mixing thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.
6. Spread the seasoned kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping the kale pieces halfway through, until they are lightly browned and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• Ensure the kale is completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
• Experiment with different seasonings like nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor or chili powder for a spicy kick!
• If you find some chips unevenly cooked, remove the crispy ones and return the others to the oven for a few more minutes.

Storage Instructions

Store your kale chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh and crispy.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can use avocado oil or coconut oil as a substitute for olive oil. For a lower sodium option, try using a smaller amount of salt or a salt-free seasoning blend.

Pairings

These kale chips are perfect as a standalone snack or paired with creamy hummus or a refreshing yogurt dip. Enjoy them alongside a light salad or a hearty bowl of soup for a delightful meal.
