Kale Chips

So you're sitting at home watching TV and you suddenly have a craving for potato chips. But you know that tomorrow, you will regret eating them. Instead of starchy, greasy potatoes, try making Kale Chips. They are tasty, healthy, and super easy to make.

Basic Kale Chips

Prep Time: 5 min

Cook Time: 8-10 min

Total Time: 13-15 min

Serves 4 (1 C each)

Ingredients:

• 1 Bunch of Fresh Kale
• 2 Tbls. Olive Oil
• 1/4 tsp. Course Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash and thoroughly dry Kale.
3. Tear Kale in small to medium piece away from stem.
4. In a large mixing bowl, toss pieces of Kale with olive oil so that it is minimally dressed. Sprinkle with salt and toss again.
5. Cover a sheet pan with parchment paper and lay Kale pieces in single layer on top. 
6. Bake for 8-10 min, or until Kale is crispy but not charred.
7. Remove from oven, let cool for 1 minute, then devour!

Notes: Be sure to watch them as they will go from perfect to overdone in a matter of just one minute. You can add any seasoning you'd like. Parmesan cheese goes well with them. Once Kale is dark green and crisp to touch, it is done. Army green is overdone and can get a little bitter.
