Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the kale leaves thoroughly and dry them completely. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, add the kale leaves and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss the leaves gently to ensure they are coated evenly.
  4. Sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper over the kale. Use your hands to massage the seasonings into the leaves, making sure they are well-coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned kale leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the kale chips in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are crispy and slightly browned. Make sure to check them occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the kale chips cool for a few minutes before serving.
  8. Serve the homemade kale chips as a healthy and delicious snack. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for later use.
