Ina Garten’s crispy kale is a no-fuss, oven-roasted version of kale chips. It involves tossing fresh kale leaves with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then baking until crisp and slightly browned around the edges. The result is light, airy, and deliciously crunchy with a rich, roasted flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large bunch of curly kale

  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Optional: garlic powder, chili flakes, or grated Parmesan

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Kale

Wash the kale thoroughly and dry it very well—moisture prevents crisping. Strip the leaves from the tough stems and tear into large, bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Toss with Oil and Seasoning

Place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Massage the oil into the leaves to coat them evenly without soaking.

Step 4: Arrange and Roast

Spread kale in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding for even crisping. Bake for 12–15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are slightly browned and the leaves are crisp.

Step 5: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the kale cool on the pan for a few minutes—it will crisp up more as it rests. Serve immediately or store for later use.
