Basic Kale Chips
Health Highlights
Baked kale chips are a simple, tasty, and healthy snack that you can easily make at home! Once you start munching on them, you won't want to stop!

Ingredients


2 bunch Kale
1 1/2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch Sea Salt (or your favorite seasoning)

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, remove the leaves from the stems and wash the leaves well in a few changes of water. (The stuff I buy from the farmer’s market is often dirty. I don’t know about you, but I find that chips taste better sans dirt.)
  2. Then, in small batches, spin the leaves dry in a salad spinner.
  3. Toss the dry leaves with olive oil and use your hands to distribute the oil evenly.
  4. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay some of the leaves on top in a single layer.
  5. Make sure the leaves are all flat and not folded over or they won’t crisp properly.
  6. Pop the tray in the oven, and after just 12 minutes, the chips’ll be done! (Set your timer and keep an eye on the kale, ‘cause if the chips burns, they’ll be bitter – and so will you.)
  7. Once the kale’s out of the oven, season the chips with some fleur de sel or your favorite seasoning salt.
