Make Kale Chips with Carnegie Science Center

Wash your hands for at least 20 to 30 seconds.

Wash kale leaves by squishing them in a bowl of clean cold water.

Pat the kale leaves dry with a towel to ensure they are nice and dry.

Rip the kale leaves into chip-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Add a little bit of oil to the kale leaves to help them become crunchy.

Add basil and oregano for flavor, and a pinch of salt.

Mix the kale leaves with the oil and spices using a spoon until well combined and shiny.

Spread the kale leaves in an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not stacked.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the kale chips for about 8 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 8 minutes, checking smaller pieces for doneness earlier.
