Ingredients to Make Kale Chips
- Kale, you will only require the leaves so tear them off the stems
- Garlic Powder to provide a subtle garlic taste which I absolutely love
- Olive Oil I use extra virgin olive oil for its flavour, you don't need to add too much as a little goes along way.
- Salt, I like to use pink Himalayan sea salt
You can add any seasoning you like, I love the combination of salt and garlic powder, however other spices that taste great are paprika, cumin, chilli powder, oregano and even nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour. The options are endless 🙂
How to Make Kale Chips
- With fingers, tear off kale leaves into bite size pieces and wash well.
- Dry Kale leaves
- In a bowl add seasoning and olive oil
- With your fingers, massage the oil and seasoning to the kale
- Add to a oven or air fryer (refer to cooking instructions in recipe below).
Important Tips
- The most crucial step in making kale chips is to massage and rub the olive oil to all the leaves. You will notice you don’t need to add to much oil to coat them all, however ensuring they are all coated well by your fingers makes them crispy and tasty rather than burning.
- Place Kale leaves into a salad spinner or in between kitchen towels to ensure they are completely dry. This will ensure they turn out crispy.
Serve in a bowl and enjoy watching your favourite movie or munch on as a snack 🙂
