De-rib the kale and tear it into large pieces. Rinse the leaves and dry completely with a salad spinner or paper towels.
Place the kale chips in a large bowl and drizzle in the oil. Massage the oil into the kale leaves to ensure that the oil has reached all of the nooks and curls of the kale. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Lay the kale out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don't pile them on—lay them in a single layer to make sure that it cooks evenly and gets nice and crispy in the oven.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until kale is lightly browned and crisp. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving (the cold air helps the kale crisp up even more!).
Serve immediately!
