Ingredients
- 1 bunch Fresh kale
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 3
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the kale with olive oil, making sure each piece is lightly coated.
Step 5
Add salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Toss again until the kale is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy. Be sure to check in between to prevent any burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy as a snack or side dish!
