Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Kale Chips
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry. Remove tough stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, add kale pieces and drizzle with olive oil. Massage oil into the leaves for even coating. Sprinkle in minced garlic, grated Parmesan, sea salt, and black pepper, and massage until blended.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread kale pieces evenly in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, checking for golden edges and a crispy surface. Rotate halfway through.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet. Optional: add extra Parmesan or chopped parsley before serving.
