Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves torn into 2-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds

  • Coarse salt, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Kale: In a large bowl, toss the torn kale leaves with the extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Massage the kale gently with your hands to evenly coat the leaves.
  • Add Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the kale and toss to distribute them evenly. Spread the kale leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Season and Bake: Sprinkle the kale with a pinch of coarse salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the kale leaves are crispy but not burnt. Be sure to check on the crisps after 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove the kale crisps from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor.
