Ingredients
- 4 cups kale leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Remove the thick stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the kale and gently massage it into the leaves to ensure even coating.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sea salt over the kale and toss lightly to distribute.
Step 6
Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap to allow even baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the kale are crisp but not burnt.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the kale chips cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
