Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it completely using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough stems.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the kale pieces to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 6
Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the chips from crisping evenly.
Step 7
Bake the kale chips in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
