These Baked Kale Chips are the perfect snack if you are on a health kick, on Whole30 or for any time you want a guilt free snack.

Since kale is available from your local market all of the time, there's nothing stopping you from making them all year round. Whether you use kale from your garden or kale from the market, both would be suitable to make a great chip.

More importantly they take 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to bake. They also make the perfect side dish for a sandwich.

Ingredients

These baked kale chips use just a few simple ingredients.

  • Kale
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt, Pepper
  • Other Seasoning like Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, etc…

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Using pre-chopped and cleaned kale will save you a lot of time with this recipe. If you need to chop and wash your kale, make sure that your kale is dry before you start prepping them for the oven.

Place about 4 cups of chopped Kale in a bowl.

Combine olive oil, salt, pepper and all spices into a small bowl and mix thoroughly.

Add the oil and seasoning mixture into the larger bowl containing the kale and use your hands to mix the oil and kale together.

Place the seasoned kale onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. Make sure that your kale chips are spread out and are not over-crowded.

Top tip

Using pre cut kale will cut down the preparation time immensely. To get the crispiest baked kale chips, ensure that you do not over-crowd your baking sheet leave distance between your kale pieces.

Substitutions and Variations for Your Homemade Kale Chips

These Baked Kale Chips can very easily be transformed into any flavor using a combination of ingredients.

  • Add Hot Spices - make this hot and spicy by adding cayenne pepper or add cinnamon.
  • Make it Chicago Mix - by adding a sweetener like date paste, balsamic glaze, or Maple Syrup or Stevia leaf if your are not on Whole30
  • Use Herbs - use herbs like oregano, thyme or rosemary to spice things up. You can also use taco mix as a seasoning for your kale chips.

No matter what spices or ingredients you use, you can create these baked kale chips to make them taste your own.

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. I love my Wilton Non Stick Baking sheets and they make great additions to your kitchen equipment.

Parchment paper isn't a must but it sure makes things easy in terms of easy clean up and food sticking to baking trays. If you are using baking sheets that do not have a non stick coating, then you will want to use parchment paper.

Storage

Store these kale chips in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 to 4 days. Since the kale will be fragile and easily fall apart, storing them in a bag is not a good idea.

These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.

Food Safety

Note that the storage guidelines provided on this page and site are estimates from personal experiences. We are all adults and as an adult you are responsible to ensure that the food you eat is safe to eat. Since, I'm not a food safety expert, you are responsible to review your local guidelines on food storage prior to storing any food left-overs.

Remember to:

  • Not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
  • Wash hands after touching raw meat
  • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
  • Never leave cooking food unattended
  • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
  • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove
