    What are kale chips?

    Oven baked kale chips are a healthier snack idea made with kale leaves tossed with olive oil and seasonings before baking them to a perfect crispy crunch.

    I like how simple and tasty these kale chips are.

    Have you tried my Easy Air Fryer Everything Bagel Zucchini Chips?

    Seasoned with Everything Bagel seasoning, those zucchini chips are a light and crispy thanks to air frying rather than deep frying them. Both this recipe for kale chips and that recipe for zucchini chips are tasty alternatives to the usual chip or snack.

    Nutritional yeast is used to flavor these chips giving them a 'cheesy' and savory flavor. You can find nutritional yeast here.

    Ingredients needed to make kale chips in the oven.

    • Kale. I like a firm kale such as curly kale for this recipe. You kale should be washed, dried, stems removed, and then torn into bite sized pieces.
    • Olive Oil. A flavorful alternative oil can be used instead.
    • Garlic Powder For flavoring.
    • Nutritional Yeast. Adds a nice cheese-like accent to this snack idea.
    • Salt. A small amount is used and can be omitted.
    • Optional- seasoning blends instead of the garlic and salt to make your favorite flavor. I have recipes for homemade seasonings here.

    Tips for making the best baked kale chips.

    Wash and dry your kale before making this recipe. It is essential that your kale is fully dry for the other ingredients to stick to it and for the kale to get crisp.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. Tear the kale leaves away from the stem removing them from the stem. The stem is often bitter and some folks do not like this.
    2. Make sure that your kale leaves are a similar size so that they can evenly bake.
    3. When you toss the kale with the oil, use your hands to massage the oil into the kale to make sure that each piece gets coated.
    4. You can line your baking sheet(s) with parchment paper for an easier cleanup .
    5. Lastly, because of how thin they are, kale chips can burn quickly. It is best to keep a close eye on your kale especially during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.

    How to make Sheet Pan Baked Kale Chips

    1. Prepare. If you have not done so, wash and dry your kale and then tear them into bite sized pieces. Also, preheat your oven to 300 and prep a rimmed baking sheet as desired for nonstick (such as parchment paper)
    2. Massage. Place your dried and torn kale leaves into a bowl. Drizzle a tablespoon of the olive oil over the leaves and gently use your fingers to massage the oil into the leaves. Toss the kale leaves and repeat the process until all of the leaves have been tossed in oil.
    3. Season. Sprinkle your garlic powder, nutritional yeast and salt (or seasoning) over your kale leaves and toss the leaves once again.
    4. Transfer. Evenly distribute your oiled and seasoned kale leaves on to your prepared baking sheet so that the edges of the leaves touch but, do not overlap. You can sprinkle additional nutritional and salt over the leaves if needed.
    5. Bake. Place the baking sheet into your oven and bake for six minutes. Check on the kale, carefully remove any crispy leaves, and then continue to bake for another minute to three minutes or until the kale is crispy and very slightly golden brown.

    Expert TipπŸ‘‰ To prevent overcrowding them, your kale pieces should be spread out in a single layer, not overlapping, on your baking sheets. Overcrowding the kale can cause it to steam rather than get crisp. You may need to use multiple baking sheets if necessary.

    How to store kale chips.

    While kale chips are best when served freshly made, leftovers can be stored. Once your kale has fully cooled it can be stored in an airtight container lined with a clean paper towel to absorb moisture for up to a couple of days.
