Ingredients
  

1 large bunch of fresh kale (any variety)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white or black for contrast)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a kick)

A pinch of salt

A pinch of black pepper

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or a salad spinner, removing as much moisture as possible.

      Remove the Stems: Tear the kale leaves from the stems into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Make sure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

        Make the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame seeds, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

          Toss the Kale: Add the kale pieces to the bowl with the dressing. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale, ensuring each piece is well coated.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the kale evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up nicely.

              Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking halfway through. Toss the kale gently to promote even cooking. The chips are done when they’re crispy and slightly golden.

                Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes. Enjoy them immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking!
