Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch of kale wash and dry completely
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt or other seasoning, if desired

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C)
  2. Make sure your kale is washed and dried completely before continuing with the recipe, or they won't crisp.
  3. Cut or tear off the stems and any large veins.
  4. Add dry kale to a bowl. Toss with olive oil.
  5. If seasoning (I recommend a very small amount of salt, at least) add seasoning and toss.
  6. Lay kale flat on a parchment lined or greased baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Bake for 15-25 minutes, watching the kale chips closely after 10 minutes to ensure they do not burn.
  8. Cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you can't find red/purple kale, this recipe will work perfectly for regular green curly kale.
  • Your kale might be done in 10-12 minutes, or it might be done in 22-25 minutes. You will want to watch your kale closely after 10 minutes to check for burning.
  • Kale does not lose its all of its nutrients when baked into chips! So, eating kale in this form will pack a big nutrient punch.
  • This recipe is safe for babies and toddlers.
