Ingredients

▢ 1 bunch kale
▢ 1/4 cup olive oil
▢ sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Tear the leaves off of the ribs of a bunch of washed kale. Tear into medium pieces and pat leaves dry with paper towels.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Spread kale out on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil over kale and toss with hands to coat and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until leaves are bright green and crispy. Remove from the oven and season with extra salt, if desired.

Notes

I love the simplicity of sprinkling salt and pepper over the chips, but some other spices to consider adding would be garlic salt, paprika, cumin and chili powder. YUM!
You will definitely want to make sure the kale leaves are totally dry before coating them with olive oil. I use paper towels to get my fingers inside the curly kale leaves and remove all moisture, but a salad spinner would work great, too!
Set these out at your next gathering as a replacement for store bought potato chips and see how much people love them. Party-goers will suddenly be declaring their love for kale chips!
Use your oven light to keep a close eye on these as they bake. They should look very lightly brown when they’re finished, but should never reach a deep brown color.
