Gluten-free Vegan Baked Kale Chips (eat anytime)
Kale chips are very easy to make my kind of treat, hello: you just need to know a few tips to make them come out perfectly. There are lots of ways to make them but I found this one is the best!
- Tuscan Kale if you can find it: the flavor is milder and the chip is sturdier, we like to have that crunch!
- Wash and dry the kale. You’ll want the kale to be ultra-dry so that the oil sticks to it or its a mess
- Tear the kale into chip-size pieces. Remove the stems, since these get tough and stringy in the oven.
Ingredients may vary:
- 1 bunch Tuscan kale (also labeled as Lacinato or dinosaur kale)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 tbsp cumin
- Heaping ⅛ teaspoon fine sea or kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash the kale leaves, then dry them as much as possible with a clean dish towel. Tear the kale leaves away from the stems important, and into the desired size for chips. In a medium bowl, gently toss the kale leaves with olive oil.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the kale leaves in a single layer on top of the sheet and sprinkle them with salt and onion powder and cumin that’s been mixed together.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes until the kale leaves are crisp or the way you think you want them I love crispy. Cool and enjoy loves! They’re best eaten within a few hours trust me, but if you happen to have leftovers you can store them in a sealed container for 1 day and preferably out on the counter! Maybe pop them in the oven again for 5 min to warm up!
