For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika before microwaving. If your kale chips aren't as crispy as you'd like after the initial microwaving, continue to microwave in 30-second intervals until they reach your desired crispiness. Store any leftover kale chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare the Kale: Thoroughly wash and dry the kale leaves. Remove the tough ribs and tear or cut the leaves into roughly 2-inch pieces. Ensure the leaves are completely dry for optimal crisping. (5 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
Arrange on Plates: Spread the kale pieces in a single layer on microwave-safe plates. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Season and Drizzle: Lightly drizzle the kale with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle generously with sea salt flakes. (1 minute)
04
StepMicrowave to Perfection: Microwave each plate of kale on high power for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until the kale is crispy and slightly browned. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave, so keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. (2-2.5 minutes per batch)
05
StepCool and Enjoy: Let the kale chips cool slightly on the plate before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
