Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons furikake
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Separate the kale stems from its leaves. We’ll use the leaves for these chips, but you can freeze the stems and use them in smoothies! Tear the leaves into pieces a little bigger than bite-size (they'll shrink once they're baked). Try to make them as uniform as possible for even cooking.
- Transfer the kale leaves into a large bowl then drizzle on the olive oil. Massage the oil onto the leaves so they're well coated and softened, about 1 - 2 minutes.
- Season the kale with furikake and salt.
- Spread the kale onto a parchment-lined baking sheets in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet and work in batches if you need to. Spread out kale so they aren’t overlapping on each other.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Check-in on them at the 15-minute mark. They should be vibrantly green still with lightly crisp edges. They’ll crisp up more once cooled. Don’t let them turn dark green or have browned edges because that means they’ll be bitter. Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 3 minutes before enjoying!

Notes
- Kale: Curly kale makes for the perfect kale chips and is luckily one of the most common kale available at grocery stores.
- Furikake: Furikake typically includes seaweed and sesame seeds, however, there are many yummy variations you can try! They're easily found at local Asian or Japanese markets but it's becoming so popular, it's sometimes even in Asian section of typical grocery stores.
- Seasoning Ideas: If you're not in the mood for or can't find furikake, don't sweat it! You can season your kale chips with any spices you'd like. See the blog post above for spice variation ideas!
