# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 large bunch kale (approximately 7 ounces), washed and completely dried
→ Oils
02 - 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Seasonings
03 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes for added flavor
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Set the oven to 300°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Discard tough stems and tear kale into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a large bowl, toss the kale pieces with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and optional spices until evenly coated.
04 - Spread kale in a single layer on the prepared sheets, avoiding overlap to ensure even crisping.
05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Monitor closely near the end to prevent burning. Remove when edges are crisp but not browned.
06 - Allow the kale chips to cool on the trays for several minutes before serving.
