Ingredients

  • 3 cups kale leaves
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of kosher salt *see note below
  • pinch of pepper *see note below

Recipe notes:

Kosher salt: If you feel like mixing it up, you can try different types of seasonings/salt on your kale chips like adobo seasoning, hickory smoked sea salt or zaatar spice blend! Regular salt also works fine.
Pepper: fresh ground pepper from a grinder tastes best in my opinion, however, regular ground pepper will also work! 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse kale and pat dry. Remove leaves from stems and chop into "chip" sized pieces. Place chopped leaves into a small bowl.
  • Drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands and gently massage oil into leaves and then sprinkle with salt, pepper (feel free to try different seasonings if you want)!
  • Line kale leaves on a large baking sheet (I prefer to cover my baking sheet in foil for easier cleanup, but this is optional).
  • Bake leaves for 3 minutes. Flip and bake for 2-3 more. (Tip *check your chips often as they will burn quickly and easily. If you like a crispier chip with more browned color you can leave them in for longer, just keep a close eye on the oven).
  • Remove chips, allow them to cool, and enjoy! (Tip *try eating your chips with a little bit of homemade guacamole. So delicious)!

Storage:

  • Store your baked kale chips in a Ziploc bag for 2-3 days!
