The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Wash the kale thoroughly and dry completely. Remove the tough ribs from the center of the kale leaves. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3
Place the kale in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Massage the oil into the kale leaves until they are lightly coated.
4
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
5
Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure the leaves are not overlapping to ensure even crisping.
6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the kale is crisp and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn easily.
7
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy immediately for the best crispiness.

Chef's Tips

Make sure the kale is completely dry before baking to ensure crispiness.

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary.

Watch the kale carefully towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning.

Store leftover kale chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but they may lose some of their crispness.

Experiment with different seasonings like paprika, nutritional yeast, or chili powder.
