Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh curly kale leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and dry them completely using a salad spinner or by patting with towels. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding thick stems to avoid chewiness.
  2. Season the Kale: In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the kale pieces and toss gently to ensure even coating. Sprinkle garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper over the kale, then toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Spread the seasoned kale pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Make sure the pieces do not overlap to allow hot air circulation for even crisping.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the kale for about 15-20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. Continue baking until the edges are browned and the chips are crisp but not burnt.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the kale chips to cool for a few minutes on the sheet. This step helps them firm up further before serving.

Notes

  • Dry Kale Thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat dry the leaves well to prevent sogginess during baking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Bake in batches if necessary to keep chips crispy.
  • Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan offers better flavor and melts more evenly than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Low and Slow Baking: Bake at a lower temperature to avoid burnt edges and achieve even crispiness.
  • Cool Before Storing: Let chips cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup and sogginess.
