Crispy Kale Chips Recipe
Description
This Crispy Kale Chips recipe transforms fresh kale leaves into a crunchy, seasoned snack through a simple baking process. After removing the leaves from their stems and thoroughly drying them, they are torn into pieces and gently coated with olive oil and salt. This light coating helps the leaves crisp evenly in the oven.
Baked at 300°F, the kale chips slowly dry out over 8 to 14 minutes, with rotation halfway through to ensure all leaves cook evenly without burning. The result is a crispy, tender chip with a mild salty flavor that retains some of kale’s earthy notes.
These kale chips provide a healthy alternative to traditional snacks and can be enjoyed alone or alongside dips. Careful drying before baking is crucial for crispness, as excess moisture interferes with crunch.
Ingredients
- 4 kale stems
- 1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Remove kale leaves from stem. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Wash and thoroughly dry the kale. Remove the kale leaves from the stems, then tear into pieces. Place the torn kale into a mixing bowl.
- Mix together. Add the oil and salt to the mixing bowl and gently massage the kale until all pieces are lightly coated in oil.
- Bake the kale. Lay the kale in one single layer on a baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and cook for an additional 2 to 6 minutes, checking every minute or two to ensure it's not burning.
- Let rest. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the kale chips cool for 3 to 5 minutes, then enjoy.
