Serves: 2-4
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 12 mins
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed & torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Directions
- Prep Kale:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Wash and thoroughly dry kale (key for crispiness!). Tear leaves into 2-inch pieces.
- Season:
- In a large bowl, massage olive oil, lemon juice, and salt into kale until evenly coated.
- Bake:
- Spread kale in a single layer on the baking sheet (crowding = soggy chips!).
- Bake 10-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes—edges should be crisp but not browned.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving (they crisp up more as they cool!).
Pro Tips:
- Extra Flavor: Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, or smoked paprika before baking.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
A guilt-free, crunchy snack packed with nutrients! 🌿💚
Note: Smaller pieces cook faster—adjust time if needed.
