How to make Kale Chips...

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil offers a similar flavor with higher smoke point.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Cayenne provides heat without the cost of specialty paprika.

garlic powder

🥗Healthier: fresh garlic

💰Cheaper: onion powder

Onion powder is a cost-effective alternative with a different flavor profile.

Remove the kale leaves from the stock, as they can be quite fibrous.

Wash and dry the kale leaves thoroughly; ensure they are dry to avoid soggy chips.

Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).

Lay out the kale leaves on a large baking sheet.

Massage the kale leaves with olive oil, making sure to coat all the nooks and crannies.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a generous sprinkle of sea salt to the kale leaves.

Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they're really nice and crisp.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 3 minutes before serving.
