Steps to Make Kale Chips
For a perfect preparation, WATCH THE VIDEO RECIPE
Detach the leaves from the bunch and remove the damaged ones. Score the central stem with a knife and detach the leaf or remove the stem with your hands as shown in the video.
Wash them thoroughly under running water, drain them, and pat them dry with paper towels. Meanwhile, prepare the mixture. In a bowl, pour the extra virgin olive oil, salt, chili pepper, and chives. Whisk with a fork.
Place the leaves on a tray lined with parchment paper and brush with a kitchen brush the leaves with the mixture. Bake at 375°F for 7-8 minutes until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and serve either hot or cold. In both cases, they are super crispy and very tasty.
