INGREDIENTS FOR HOMEMADE KALE CHIPS:

  • Kale: healthy and hearty. Gimme those greens!
  • Extra virgin olive oil: adds flavor and coats leaves allowing salt and pepper to stick.
  • Salt: for a little extra crunch, I like using kosher or sea salt. Regular works fine too.
  • Pepper: fresh ground pepper for some spice!

HANDY TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE:

  • When baking your chips, watch them carefully as delicate kale leaves will cook fast and burn easily. If you like a bit of extra crisp and brown color, you can bake them a little longer, just keep a close eye on the oven!
  • If you feel like mixing it up, try different types of seasonings on your kale chips like adobo seasoning, hickory smoked sea salt or zaatar spice blend.
  • I highly recommend pairing kale chips with some homemade guacamole. So delicious!
  • Store baked kale chips in a Ziploc baggie for 2-3 days. This will keep them nice and crispy so you can enjoy them throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups kale leaves
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of kosher salt *see note below
  • pinch of pepper *see note below
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Rinse kale and pat dry. Remove leaves from stems and chop into "chip" sized pieces. Place chopped leaves into a small bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands and gently massage oil into leaves and then sprinkle with salt, pepper (feel free to try different seasonings if you want)!
Line kale leaves on a large baking sheet (I prefer to cover my baking sheet in foil for easier cleanup, but this is optional).
Bake leaves for 3 minutes. Flip and bake for 2-3 more. (Tip *check your chips often as they will burn quickly and easily. If you like a crispier chip with more browned color you can leave them in for longer, just keep a close eye on the oven).
Remove chips, allow them to cool, and enjoy! (Tip *try eating your chips with a little bit of homemade guacamole. So delicious)!
Storage:
Store your baked kale chips in a Ziploc bag for 2-3 days!
Tips
  • Kosher salt: If you feel like mixing it up, you can try different types of seasonings/salt on your kale chips like adobo seasoning, hickory smoked sea salt or zaatar spice blend! Regular salt also works fine.
  • Pepper: fresh ground pepper from a grinder tastes best in my opinion, however, regular ground pepper will also work!
