Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch curly kale
- 2–3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1/8 tsp garlic salt
- 1/8 tsp onion salt
- 1/8 tsp turmeric
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Parchment paper for baking sheet(s)
Instructions
- Set the oven to 395 degrees. Then rinse the kale, pat it dry, and break it into small pieces. Transfer the kale pieces to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In separate dish, combine coconut oil, garlic salt, onion, salt, sea salt, and turmeric. Stir the seasonings and coconut oil together and then pour the mixture over the kale pieces. To make sure the kale pieces are evenly coated, first start by stirring with a spoon. And then, if needed, toss the kale by hand until the coconut oil mixture evenly covers the kale pieces.
- Next, line the baking sheet(s) with parchment, and then lay pieces of kale on the parchment, making sure not to overlap the kale pieces.
- Bake for approximately 7-10 minutes, turning the baking sheet 180 degrees halfway through the cook time.
- Remove from oven and let cools slightly. The chips will continue to crisp for a few minutes after you remove them from the oven. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Assume about 7-10 minutes of baking time for each batch in the oven.
- For best results, bake only one pan at a time, unless you can fit two pans in the oven side by side. This ensures more even baking of the kale chips.
