Ingredients

  • Olive Oil – Adds a rich, savory flavor to your crispy kale chips
  • Salt – Enhances the flavors and ensures each bite is perfectly savory.

You’ll also need a baking sheet and some parchment paper to prepare your kale parmesan chips.

    I’ve tried a few different kale chip recipes, but the addition of garlic powder and parmesan cheese in this one is a total game changer! They came out so crispy and were the perfect healthy snack for my movie night. I love that it only takes 5 ingredients—super simple for a quick weekday treat. Thanks for the tip about letting them cool completely to keep that crunch!
