Kale Chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure even and slow cooking for crispy chips.

Pro tip: A lower oven temperature helps prevent the kale from burning.

Prepare the kale

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

Pro tip: Make sure the kale is completely dry for optimal crispiness.

Season the kale

In a large bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

Pro tip: Massage the oil and spices into the leaves for better flavour distribution.

Arrange on a baking sheet

Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the sheet to allow even air circulation.

Bake the kale chips

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the edges start to brown but are not burnt.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

Cool and serve

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

Pro tip: Enjoy them fresh for the best taste and texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these kale chips as a delightful snack on their own or as a crunchy side to your favourite sandwich. For best results, consume them fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a day to maintain their crispiness. Pair them with a tangy dip or sprinkle them over soups and salads for an added crunch. Make-ahead by preparing the kale and seasoning in advance, then bake just before serving.
