Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water and dry completely.

Remove the thick stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

In a large bowl, combine kale leaves with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.

Sprinkle salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the kale.

Toss the kale again to evenly distribute the spices.

Spread the kale in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, watching closely until the edges are crispy and slightly browned.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
