Ingredients
1 large bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash the kale, remove the tough stems, and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
3. Dry the kale very well with towels or a salad spinner until no moisture remains.
4. Place the kale in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until lightly coated.
5. Sprinkle in the vinegar powder, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss again to coat evenly.
6. Spread the kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, turning the pan once if needed, until the leaves are crisp and the edges are lightly browned.
8. Let the kale chips cool for 5 minutes, then serve immediately or store once fully cooled.
Notes
Do not skip drying the kale completely, because even a little extra moisture can make the chips steam and turn chewy instead of crisp.
