These oven baked kale chips are so crispy and delicious - what a great way to eat your kale! They are so crunchy and extremely addictive - this is a perfect healthy snack!
Wash the kale leaves and thoroughly dry them, so no water remains on the kale. (First shake of the water, then blot the kale leaves on both sides with paper towels). In order for the chips to be crispy, the kale must be completely dry.
Cut out and remove the thick part of the stem.
Cut the kale leaves into chip-sized pieces.
Drizzle the olive oil over kale and toss with your hands to coat the kale with oil.
Line the baking sheet with non-stick parchment paper.
Put the kale pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Put in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the kale chips from the oven and sprinkle with salt.
Notes
The kale must be completely dry before baking to ensure crispiness.
Experiment with seasonings to suit your taste—nutritional yeast makes a great vegan cheesy topping.
