Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon togarashi powder (see What to Buy note)
  • 1 pound dinosaur kale
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for coating the baking sheet

Method

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil; set aside.
  • Combine the salt, sugar, and togarashi in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Remove and discard the center ribs and stalks of the kale.
  • Tear the leaves into rough 3-inch pieces.
  • Wash the leaves and dry them thoroughly.
  • Place half of the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil, and toss with your hands until the leaves are thoroughly coated.
  • Sprinkle with half of the togarashi mixture (about 3/4 teaspoon) and toss again with your hands until the leaves are thoroughly coated.
  • Place the leaves in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until the kale chips are crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, place the baking sheet on a wire rack, and let the chips cool for about 3 minutes.
  • Using your hands, carefully transfer the chips to a serving dish.
  • Repeat with the remaining kale, oil, and togarashi mixture.
  • Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
