Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bunch fresh kale about 10-12 ounces
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, or lemon pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the kale thoroughly and dry completely using a salad spinner or patting with paper towels.
  3. Remove the tough center stems from each kale leaf and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces (about 1½ to 2 inches wide).
  4. Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and massage gently with your hands to ensure every piece is lightly coated.
  5. Arrange the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, being careful not to overcrowd.
  6. Sprinkle with sea salt and any additional seasonings you desire.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the pans and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes until the edges are slightly browned but not burnt.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets. They'll continue to crisp as they cool.
  9. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
