Crispy Kale Chips Recipe - Healthy Snack Option

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Ensure the oven is fully heated before placing the kale inside.
  2. Prepare the Kale

    Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

    Drying the kale well is crucial for crispiness.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil

    In a large bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil until evenly coated.

    Avoid using too much oil to keep the chips light and crispy.
  4. Season the Kale

    Sprinkle salt and garlic powder (if using) over the kale and toss again to distribute evenly.

    Adjust seasoning based on your preference.
  5. Bake the Kale Chips

    Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

    Check frequently to prevent burning; they should be crispy and slightly browned.
  6. Cool and Serve

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

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
