Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh kale (organic, preferrably)
  • 3 tbsps olive oil
  • 3 tbsps red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tahini or almond butter
  • 1-2 tsps honey
  • sea salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 125 deg C. And line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Prep the kale by taking out the stems. Wash your kale with water, and soak it for at least 5 minutes. Drain, and pat-dry with a kitchen towel or use a salad spinner. Don't skip this as the less moisture, the crispier your kale chips will get.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the rest of the ingredients until well combined. Have a taste of it and adjust to your preference like adding more of the vinegar or honey or salt. Then transfer the dried kale into the bowl. Use your hands to massage the kale well and coat the leaves with the dressing. This is an important step as again, it will give your kale chips that flavor punch and that crisp.
  • Transfer the kale on to your baking tray in a single layer. Leave some space in-between and don't get them too crowded, otherwise your kale won't crisp up that much. You may have to bake in 2-3 batches depending on how big your tray is. Bake for 10 minutes then flip using a tong. Bake for another 8-10 minutes until crispy. Keep an eye on your oven and make sure you don't burn the kale.
  • Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle with some more sea salt. Enjoy while warm!
