Kale Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)

Directions

  1. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat to 300°F
  2. Wash the kale and remove stems. Keeping the kale in larger pieces makes it easier to put into the oven and easier to eat.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the kale, with the olive oil, salt, and any optional flavorings. Massage the leaves to soften them.
  4. Arrange kale in a single layer on baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Cook for 15 minutes or till crispy (but not browned) When done, transfer kale chips to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

  • Optionally mix spices or flavoring with the olive oil. Possible options include:
    • 1 tsp lemon zest
    • 1/4 tsp paprika (or other chili powder)
    • 1/4 tsp paprika (or other chili powder) with 1/4 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • If making habanero kale chips, 1.4g of habanero is too much.
