Your New Feel-Good Snack
When you think “kale chips,” you might picture something bland and a little too good to be true—but these crispy green wonders are a total game-changer in the world of snacks. I know, I know, they’re definitely no potato chips, but that’s what we love about them! With every bite, you get a satisfying crunch that disappears into savory goodness. Before you know it, you’re at the bottom of the bowl. And the best part? This oven-baked kale chips recipe is super easy, foolproof, and addictively delicious. Mark my words, your snack game will never be the same!
Here’s What You’ll Need
These oven-baked kale chips require only 3 base ingredients (plus optional seasonings to take them to the next level!).
Kale: You can use any type of kale you want or have available here (red, dinosaur, and curly kale are all great choices!). Oil: You don’t need much oil, just enough to coat the leaves lightly and bring out that magical crispiness. To use less oil, simply spray the leaves with cooking spray rather than using the full amount of regular oil. Salt: As with any good chip, oven-baked kale chips require a healthy pinch of salt to create a multi-dimensional flavor. Optional Flavorings: You can bring even more flavor magic to your kale chips by flavoring them with a quick homemade blend of spices using any of these popcorn seasonings. (Ranch and Dorito are my favorites!)
