Description
A healthy, crunchy snack made from fresh kale, quickly baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash the kale leaves under cold water and dry them thoroughly. Use a salad spinner or pat dry with clean towels. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Put the torn kale in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt. Toss the leaves with your hands until each piece gets a light, even coat of oil.
- Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, checking at 8 minutes and then every 2 minutes after. Remove any pieces that are turning brown early.
- Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Add more salt if needed. Serve once fully cool.
Notes
Ensure the kale is completely dry before baking to avoid sogginess. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for optimal crispiness.
