Garlic Parmesan Crispy Kale Chips

These kale chips are the ultimate crunchy snack—loaded with garlicky goodness and a salty Parmesan punch, they disappear faster than you can make them!

Ingredients:

• 1 large bunch curly kale, stems removed and torn into 2-inch pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
