1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) melted coconut oil or avocado oil
Seasonings of choice, such as:
A pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
1 teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) curry powder
1 tablespoon (15 ml) nutritional yeast
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 110°C (fan 90°C). If available, use the convection setting to speed up cooking and enhance crispiness.
Prepare Kale: Rinse the kale thoroughly and dry it completely. Remove the tough stems and tear the leaves into small, bite-sized pieces.
Season Kale: Place the kale pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the melted oil and sprinkle with your chosen seasonings. Use your hands to massage the oil and seasonings evenly onto the kale leaves.
Arrange on Baking Sheets: Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on two large baking sheets, ensuring minimal overlap to promote even crisping.
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rotate the pans and gently toss the kale to ensure even baking. Continue baking for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the kale is crispy and slightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the kale chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Enjoy immediately or store once completely cooled.
