Crispy Kale and Seaweed Chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. 2

   Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves, then tear them into bite-sized pieces, avoiding the thick stems.

3. 3

   Cut the nori sheets into 2-inch squares using scissors.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale pieces, olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder. Massage the oil and spices into the kale leaves evenly.

5. 5

   On a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the kale pieces in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.

6. 6

   Bake the kale in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until crispy, checking halfway through to ensure they do not burn.

7. 7

   While the kale is baking, arrange the nori squares on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. 8

   Lightly brush the nori squares with a little olive oil using a pastry brush.

9. 9

   Place the nori squares in the same oven for the last 5 minutes of the kale's baking time, watching closely to prevent burning.

10. 10

    Allow both the kale chips and nori chips to cool slightly, then mix together and serve as a crispy snack.
