Tools for Preparing Kale Chips
- 1 Microwave Oven Microwave Oven
Steps
We start by cleaning the kale leaves. For each leaf, pull upwards to remove the central vein and keep only the leaf portion. Wash and dry thoroughly.
In a bowl, season the leaves with oil, salt, and chili powder. Mix gently with a spoon.
On the microwave’s crisp plate (or a baking tray), distribute the leaves so they don’t overlap.
Cook in the Microwave with crisp function for 5 minutes
Or in a convection oven at 350°F for 7 minutes
Storage and Tips
Kale leaves naturally tend to be bitter, so after cooking, you can season them with a pinch of salt to reduce the bitterness.
Each oven has its times, so be careful during cooking as they might burn.
It is not advisable to freeze them, but due to their quick preparation, it’s better to make them fresh.
