Kale Chips

   Have you ever looked in your fridge and wondered "what can I possibly do with all of that kale in there and how can I get my kids to eat it"? You have? Wonderful! I have an easy recipe for you that will get those mouths watering. Delicious, nutritious KALE CHIPS!

   Before making the chips, set your oven to 275 degrees. That's what I use and it seems to be a nice temperature for drying them out without taking forever.

   First, rip off some kale leaves and arrange them in a single layer on your tray. You don't want to get them too big, but you want them big enough to be able to hold some of the oil and salt, and also big enough so you can actually pick them up and eat them. They will shrink in the oven.

   Next, add your toppings. I use a brush to spatter on some olive oil. You just need a light coating. Don't go overboard or they will be too wet and won't dry out nice and crispy. After the oil, sprinkle some sea salt over top. Again, don't go crazy. The kale has a nice flavour in and of itself so you don't want to have overly salty chips.

   Put them in the oven to dry out. With my oven I generally put them in for 10 minutes. Then I check on them and decide how much longer they will need based on appearance. I then proceed to put them in for 1-2 minute increments so they don't burn. You want them to be darker around the edges and a bit hardened to the touch so they'll have a nice crunch.

   And that is all there is to it. They are so good and they don't last long at all around here. Sometimes I have to make multiple trays. To me, that's a great problem to have.
Enjoy!
