Crispy Kale Chips Recipe
Crispy Kale Chips are made by baking well-dried kale leaves coated lightly with olive oil and seasoned with kosher salt. Baking at a low temperature slowly dehydrates the leaves, resulting in a delicate crunch without burning. The natural kale texture crisps into a snack alternative that is light and flavorful.

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.
