Additional Notes/Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. The kale needs room to crisp up.
- If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle some chili flakes on top before baking.
- Keep an eye on the kale—too long in the oven and it’ll burn faster than your willpower to resist eating it all.
- Experiment with seasoning blends; nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor if you’re into that.
- Kale chips are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
