Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 25 g Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it completely using a salad spinner or by patting it with paper towels. Remove the tough stems and tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Place the kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss again to distribute the seasoning.
- Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the pieces are not overlapping to ensure even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the kale is crispy and the edges are slightly browned. Keep an eye on the chips during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the kale chips cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the kale pieces. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Transfer the chips to a serving bowl and enjoy!
