Crispy Baked Kale Chips Recipe - Healthy Snack Option

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 bunch kale (fresh, washed and dried)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Kale

    Remove the kale leaves from the stems and tear them into bite-sized pieces.

    Make sure to dry the kale thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  3. Season the Kale

    In a large bowl, toss the kale with olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated.

    Use your hands to massage the oil into the leaves for better flavor.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the kale evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Avoid overcrowding the kale to ensure crispiness.
  5. Bake the Chips

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; they cook quickly.
  6. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
