Making kale chips, also known as crisps, at home is easy and much less expensive than buying them. However, there are 2 keys to achieving their signature texture. One is to dry the kale leaves well after rinsing. Any excess moisture left on them will cause them to steam and wilt instead of crisp up. The second is to bake them on wire racks so that hot air can circulate around the leaves to cook both sides evenly. Here, we’ve dressed them up with grated Romano cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder but you can sprinkle them with any blend of seasonings. Store the chips in an airtight container for up to several days though chances are they won't last that long!

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches uncooked kale, tough stems removed and leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 tsp Canola oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Onion powder
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp Romano cheese, grated



Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two large cooling racks (that you'll set into two large baking sheets) with nonstick spray. The cooling racks help the hot air circulate around the kale and make it as crisp as possible.
  2. Put kale in a very large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss until coated evenly. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and toss until mixed well.
  3. Spread kale on prepared pans to form a single layer. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly; sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Per Serving: about 1 1/4 cups!
