Baked Kale Chips

Kale is one of those greens that can be mysterious to many people. I, personally, LOVE it as a snack! Kale chips are a tasty, healthy treat and also a great source of vitamins.

Here's a very easy recipe for crispy, baked kale chips:

What you will need:

• 1 bunch Kale
• a few tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cookie sheet

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
• Wash Kale thoroughly to remove any residual dirt or debris and dry
• With a knife or kitchen scissors, remove kale leaves from center stem
• Tear or cut into smaller, bitesize pieces (they will shrink slightly in the oven)
• Place on cookie sheet so pieces are not touching
• Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper
• Bake until edges are brown but not burnt 10-15 minutes

Tips:

• Use any dried or fresh herbs you desire (I like to add a little fresh garlic or even garlic scapes....YUM!!)
• Great idea for kids, they resemble potato chips in texture
