Health Benefits of Kale

Kale is a dark leafy green vegetable that contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. However, be mindful that kale is included on the Dirty Dozen list, so it will be crucial to purchase organic kale and properly clean it before consumption. Kale also contains a good amount of vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin. When pairing the avocado oil with the kale, the healthy fats will help to better absorb this fat-soluble vitamin.

How to Make the 4-Ingredient Crispy Garlic Baked Kale Chips

Preheat oven to 300℉.
Wash and dry one bunch of kale. Remove the stems, then rip into chip-sized pieces.
Place the kale into a medium-sized bowl, pouring the avocado oil evenly over the kale. Using your hands gently massage the oil into the kale leaves. The avocado is a great choice due to its higher smoke point when compared to extra virgin olive oil.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder and sea salt, mixing well.
Arrange the kale chips onto a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and flip the chips for even cooking. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, watching carefully the last few minutes so the chips don’t burn.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 3-5 minutes and enjoy!

How Long Will the Crispy Garlic Baked Kale Chips Last?

Kale chips will typically keep their crunch for 2-3 days. However, it is recommended to consume them the same day you prepare them for peak crispiness. Other tips include letting them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will ensure your kale chips do not become soggy.
