🔪Instructions

Refer to the recipe card below.

🧾Substitutions

• If you don’t have sea salt, you can use kosher salt. The key is not use regular table salt.
• If you can find Tuscan kale, use that. However, curly will work fine too.

🍽Equipment

• You can use parchment paper to line the baking sheet, however, I highly recommend using a silicone baking mat. That way you can use it time and time again.

🥫Storage

You can store this in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight container.

💭Top Tips

• Watch the chips very carefully when you put them into the oven. They burn fast.
• Drying the kale thoroughly after you wash it is also key. If you don’t you will get soggy chips.
• Use the EVOO lightly. This is where a little goes a long way.

Equipment

• large baking sheet
• parchment paper or silicone mat
• tongs

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 large bunches of kale tough stems removed and torn into chunks
• 1½ – 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• Sea salt to taste

Directions

 

• Preheat oven to 325°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Wash kale leaves and dry completely before adding to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss to combine while rubbing each leaf with your fingers to make sure it is evenly coated in oil.
• Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cumin on top of kale and season with sea salt, to taste. Toss until evenly combined.
• Arrange seasoned kale leaves on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer, being careful to not overcrowd them. Work in batches, if necessary.
• Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes before rotating the pan. Bake for another 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove chips from oven when they are still mostly green, with only a tiny bit of brown developing.
• Let chips sit for 2-3 minutes to crisp up a bit more before serving. Enjoy!
