Super Quick Video Tips: How to Make Kale Chips in the Microwave

Use Lacinato kale, as curly leaf variety doesn't work well.

Remove the stems from one bunch of Lacinato kale.

Tear the leaves into 2-inch pieces.

Wash and dry the kale leaves thoroughly.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the kale leaves with 4 teaspoons of oil.

Spread the leaves out in a single layer on a large plate.

Season the leaves lightly with kosher salt.

Put the leaves in the microwave for 3 minutes.

Check if the kale is crispy when you take it out; if not, microwave in 30-second increments until crispy.

Repeat the process until all the kale has been crisped in the microwave.

Store the crispy kale in an airtight container for up to a week.
