I remember stumbling upon this recipe during a lazy weekend when I had some sad kale in the fridge that needed rescuing.
Who knew that a little olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt could transform those leafy greens into something so addictively crunchy?
One tip I learned the hard way: make sure your kale is bone dry before you start.
This recipe is my little nod to simple joys and mindful munching.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Kale is my go-to for these chips because it's sturdy and holds up well. But if you're out, Swiss chard or collard greens are great too—just keep an eye on them in the oven since they might need a different baking time.
Tips & Notes
- •I dry my kale with a clean dish towel—works like a charm every time.
- •Spread them out in a single layer; trust me, overcrowding leads to soggy chips!
- •For extra crispiness, I leave the oven door slightly ajar in the last few minutes of baking.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm in the mood for some zest, I drizzle them with lemon juice right after they come out of the oven.
- •My friend Leah swears by adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
Storage & Freezing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a single layer and then transferring to a container.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other seasonings?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with spices like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or your favorite seasoning blends.
How do I store leftover chips?
Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispiness but can be re-crisped in the oven.
