Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh kale (firm, organic, stems removed, torn into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Make sure the kale is completely dry to ensure the best crispiness.
  2. Season the Leaves: Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper over the leaves. Toss well using clean hands or tongs so each leaf is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming and sogginess.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Preheat the oven to 300°F (about 150°C). Bake the kale chips for 15 to 20 minutes, checking halfway through to rotate the pan if needed. Bake until the chips are golden and crisp but not burnt.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up further. Serve immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Dry kale thoroughly to prevent soggy chips.
  • Bake at a low temperature (300°F) to avoid burning and ensure even crisping.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning by tasting a small portion before mixing the entire batch.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it makes chips soggy after thawing.
  • Reheat soggy chips in a 275°F oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
