Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • Fresh kale leaves, firm and vibrant green, without yellow spots (about 1 large bunch or 6 cups torn)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the kale: Thoroughly wash the kale leaves and dry them completely. Removing as much moisture as possible ensures they crisp nicely in the oven.
  2. Tear and season: Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough stems. Toss the pieces in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow air circulation.
  4. Bake until crispy: Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) and bake for about 20 minutes, checking every 5-7 minutes to prevent burning. Flip the chips halfway through baking for even crispiness.
  5. Cool and serve: Once the chips are golden and crisp, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the sheet before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Dry kale thoroughly to ensure crispy chips, avoiding sogginess.
  • Use high-quality, freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better flavor and melting.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space between kale pieces for even baking and optimal crunch.
  • Check chips frequently while baking, as they can quickly go from crispy to burnt.
  • Adjust garlic powder and salt quantities to match your preferred flavor profile.
