SPICY KALE CHIPS

Kale chips are known for being very trendy and very expensive. Surprisingly, they require very little effort to make and produce an even better result than store-bought kale chips. The crisp, green leafy vegetable has a deeper, earthier flavour than a regular potato chip and is packed with nutrients.

We bake these kale chips low and slow to produce a kale chip with the ultimate crispiness. Baking at a low temperature also prevents burning and uneven crisping.

Yields: 10 Servings

Total Time: 30 mins

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 head kale 
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil  
  • 2 teaspoons salt 
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes 
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 275°F.
  2. Tear leaves off kale and thoroughly wash. Rip the leaves into chip-size pieces, roughly 2-inches by 2-inches.
  3. Ensure leaves are completely dry either by straining in a colander and letting it sit for 20 minutes, patting dry with a towel or drying in a salad spinner.
  4. In one layer, spread kale on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle granulated garlic, chilli flakes and salt. Toss, ensuring each leaf is coated with seasonings and olive oil.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Leaves should crisp and dehydrate and snap like a chip.
