Scale
Ingredients
- Outer leaves of 1 Savoy cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds (white, black, or both)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the cabbage chips.
- Prepare Cabbage Leaves: Separate the large, dark green outer leaves from the head of the Savoy cabbage, saving the center for another use.
- Wash and Dry Leaves: Thoroughly wash the leaves to remove any dirt, then trim off the woody ends and dry each leaf carefully with a paper towel to ensure crispiness when baking.
- Cut Leaves: Cut or tear the cabbage leaves into approximately 2-inch pieces, making sure to discard the tough, woody center rib from each leaf.
- Season Leaves: Place the cabbage pieces in a large mixing bowl and toss them well with olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and sesame seeds to evenly coat the pieces.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned cabbage pieces evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, using two sheets if needed, ensuring there is space around each piece for proper crisping.
- Bake Chips: Bake the cabbage chips in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes, until they look golden and crispy. After baking, turn off the oven and leave the chips inside to rest and crisp more for another 10 minutes.
- Serve and Store: Serve the chips immediately for best flavor and texture, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, reheat in the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes
- Be sure to dry the cabbage leaves thoroughly before seasoning to ensure they crisp up well during baking.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Monitor baking time closely as cabbage chips can burn quickly if left too long.
- Different ovens may vary in temperature, so adjust baking time as needed.
- Feel free to experiment with seasoning variations like smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy twist.
- Store baked chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
