Kale Chips (Keto & Paleo)

Kale Chips

Crispy kale chips baked in the oven in 15 minutes! They are keto and paleo-friendly.

Are you looking for something to replace chips on the keto diet? You must try making homemade kale chips! They are extremely easy to make and they taste amazing!

Baked kale chips replace that crispy, crunchy, salty chip taste you are craving when you first stop eating carbs.

Best of all, it doesn’t taste like you are eating baked lettuce. That was my fear. The oven kale chips really do take on a chip flavor.

You can eat them with just salt or make them into fun chip flavors. Here is my all-dressed kale chip recipe. All-dressed is a popular chip flavor in Canada. If you love BBQ chips, here is my homemade BBQ seasoning.

Kale Chip Ingredients

• a bunch of fresh kale
• extra virgin olive oil 
• sea Salt 

How to make Kale Chips

First, wash and dry the kale.

Using your hands or a knife separate the leaf from the stem. The stem does not bake well.

Rip or cut the leaves into chip sizes.

Place the kale in a bowl.

Pour the olive oil over the kale covering ALL of the kale. This will help the kale chips get crispy. Trust me, you do not want soggy kale chips.

Sprinkle your desired amount of salt over the leaves. You can always toss the baked kale chips in more salt.

Place leaves on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Overcrowding will result in soggy chips.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. I found the more kale on the baking sheet the longer it takes for the chips to bake.

After 10 minutes of baking watch the kale chips carefully. If they burn they taste bitter.

When the chips are crispy they are done. If you have some leaves that are still soft just put those back in the oven for a little longer.
