Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Curly Kale – 1 large bunch (about 8 cups of leaves)
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup, freshly grated
  • Garlic Powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Sea Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Kale: Thoroughly wash the kale leaves and dry them completely; moisture prevents crispiness. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Season the Kale: In a large bowl, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the kale and toss well to coat each leaf evenly. Sprinkle garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan over the kale, then gently toss again to distribute the seasoning.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the kale pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to allow for proper air circulation and even crisping. Avoid overlapping to prevent sogginess.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on the kale, removing any chips that turn golden brown before the others to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked to a perfect crisp, let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down. Then, dig in and savor the crunch!

Notes

  • Ensure the kale is fully dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispness.
  • Spread the leaves in a single layer with space between to prevent steaming instead of baking.
  • Bake at a lower temperature to dry out and crisp without burning.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for better melt and flavor.
  • Start checking the chips after 15 minutes to avoid burning since kale crisps quickly.
