Kale Chips

Ingredients
  • 1 large bunch of kale (with the curly tops)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (approximately)
  • kosher salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • (garlic powder, cayenne pepper) optional alternatives
Method
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Line 2 or 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Remove kale leaves from their stems with a knife.  I basically just lay the kale leaf on its side, folding one side of the leaf over the other.  This leaves the stem on one edge.  With a knife simply cut out the stem.
  3. Cut or rip the leaves into various sizes being sure to leave some of the larger leaves whole.  Wash and dry the leaves.
  4. Lay kale chips on your tray.  On each tray you only want enough leaves so they can lay in one single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt.  I usually then add a small pinch of pepper.  (If you want to jazz them up with some extra spices, now is the time).  With your hands mix all the kale together making sure every leaf is sufficiently coated with olive oil.
  5. Spread the leaves out into that single layer I was talking about, don't overlap or overcrowd.  Bake in the oven for 11 minutes.
