Description
Learn how to make delicious homemade kale chips that are crispy and healthy. Discover the perfect recipe for a guilt-free snack!
Ingredients
- – 2 bunches (500g) fresh kale
- – 5-6 cloves garlic, minced
- – sea salt, to taste
- – 3 teaspoons (15ml) olive oil
- – 1/4 cup (25g) freshly grated cheese
Instructions
- Remove the thick stems from the kale and cut it into pieces. Clean thoroughly. (I find a salad spinner is excellent for getting rid of all the moisture from the kale.) Ensure it is completely dry to help it become crispy during baking, rather than soggy from leftover water droplets.
- Put the kale into a big bowl. Mix it with olive oil, sea salt, and minced garlic.
- Spread the kale evenly on a large baking tray. For optimal results, avoid crowding the tray. (If needed, prepare in two separate batches.)
- Cook in the oven at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, then turn the tray and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until they are crisp. Let them sit on the baking tray for a few minutes to cool slightly, then add grated cheese on top.
- Enjoy while warm, or keep them in a sealed container for later.
Notes
- Remove tough kale stems for better texture when baked.
- Enhance flavor with high-quality olive oil.
- Add plenty of garlic for a delicious savory taste.
