Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large bunch kale any variety
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or any high-quality oil of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • to taste optional seasonings (garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chili flakes, etc.) feel free to experiment with flavors

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cool water and dry completely using a salad spinner or paper towels.
  3. Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing the thick stems.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the kale in a large bowl and massage it into the leaves to ensure they’re evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle sea salt and any additional seasonings over the kale and toss again to distribute the flavors.
  6. Spread the seasoned kale in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn crispy, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For the best results, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and experiment with various seasoning combinations to find your perfect flavor profile. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
